Jack Broughton, British Army Veteran

We catch-up with Jack, he’s an inspirational former Squaddie and father to a three year-old ‘Duracell Bunny’

After losing his leg in Service, Jack has suffered serious health challenges but focuses on the positives. Now medically discharged, he explains how his Army training helps him to “adapt and improvise” and also how to live well in Lockdown.

We hear about his writing, stir-frying lettuce and also his post-Lockdown mountaineering plans in support of BLESMA.

Oh, and if you need a cardboard boat building, Jack’s your guy.
