Soldier: 'I could see all my intestines'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Private Davey Graham says he "didn't realise he'd been shot" after taking five bullets to his abdomen during a Taliban ambush. Graham was serving in Afghanistan's notorious Green Zone when he was shot with a PKM machine gun in August 2007. "Where my T-shirt was it felt quite damp and quite warm. I just pulled my T-shirt up and that's when I could see all my intestines" said Graham. "One of the bullet wounds had gone in that deep it had pushed my intestines out, [that's when] I realised I'd been shot in the stomach", he said. This clip is originally from 5 live Daily on March 19th 2015.
