Marcus Richardson was a British soldier when a night out in Cyprus ended with him being brutally attacked by three senior military personnel.
The assault left Marcus with a brain haemorrhage, missing teeth and serious brain injuries. He woke from a coma three weeks later and began a two-year rehabilitation with one goal: returning to active service.
In this episode, Marcus tells the story of the attack, the injuries that nearly killed him, and the devastating moment he discovered his career in the British Army was over.
