Andy Reid had been in Afghanistan for three months when the incident happened that would change his life forever.
Out on a routine patrol in the Helmand Province, he stood on a Taliban improvised explosive device, resulting in him losing both legs and an arm.
"I was there on the floor on my back, a big dust cloud all around me. I couldn't hear anything," he says.
"I wasn't really in any pain at the time, but I felt some numbness throughout my body."
"I knew something bad had happened to me. I looked down and I couldn't see my legs at that stage."
