Dave Curtis’ childhood dream was to join the Army but on his very first day of active duty, his world was blown apart.
A suicide bomb catapulted the armoured vehicle the young soldier was travelling in in Kabul into the air before it crashed back down to earth as a burning ball of metal with Dave and another British soldier trapped inside.
To this day Dave, who broke his back and shoulder and went through years of nightmares, sleepless nights and panic attacks, has no idea how he got out.
