Wounded - BBC Documentary Part 2/11

Documentary following the journey of two injured soldiers: 19-year-old Ranger Andy Allen who, in July 2008, had his right leg blown off and his eyes badly burnt by an improvised explosive device; and 24-year-old Lance Corporal Tom Neathway, who lost three limbs after moving a booby-trapped sandbag.
Unconscious and watched by their families they fight for their lives, but surviving their injuries is just the beginning.
