Hidden Trauma: GQ meets Ken Bellringer | British GQ

The untold story of how two British surgeons took on the wounded soldier's last taboo. During the worst years of the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan, hundreds of servicemen were flown to one hospital in Birmingham, where pioneering medics learned to treat injuries previously thought unsurvivable. Their legacy - and a legacy of that war - is the amputee servicemen whose lives they saved. And yet, the worst physical injuries remain unseen - and almost always unspoken. Here, GQ hears the stories of men who lost not only limbs but genitalia in service to their country.

What an incredible human being.

Went to school with KB, my buddy Simon and I used to go round to his house to play on his 'Vectrex' wireframe videogame console. We'd bring 'Donkey Kong', 'Thundering Turbos Tomytronic' and any other game we'd got hold of, and take turns on each! That would have been 40 years ago or thereabouts. Happy memories.
