Injured British Soldier Continuing To Break Ground In Recovery

Ben Parkinson has been described as 'Britain's most seriously injured soldier' after he survived a bomb blast in Afghanistan. 
 
Since he emerged from a coma in 2006, he has stunned medical staff, friends and family with what he's been able to achieve.
 
At the start of the year the Lance Bombardier began a new treatment in Edinburgh which involves his body being flooded with oxygen, and last month he attended an amputee recovery programme in the United States. 
 
Forces TV reporter Hannah King went to speak to him about the progress he's made.
