'Being blown up changed how I view Remembrance'

Cassidy Little Afghanistan

Cassidy Little, a former Royal Marine medic who lost a leg while serving in Afghanistan, has been reflecting on key moments of remembrance in his life.

This time of the year offers civilians, veterans and serving personnel a chance to meditate on the nature of remembrance, sacrifice and duty while remembering the sacrifices of those in the Armed Forces.

In the feature-length BFBS podcast, Cassidy Little: Coming Home, the veteran speaks eloquently about revisiting Headley Court, where he received rehabilitation treatment for his injuries, as well as the first Remembrance Sunday after he was blown up.
