Former paratrooper James O'Connell from Bootle, Merseyside, was 22 when he fought in one of the most fierce battles of the war at Mount Longdon.

He lost an eye and a cheekbone and it took five years to rebuild his face.

"It doesn't go away," he said, "every morning when I look in the mirror, I'm reminded."

Mr O'Connell believes he suffered from undiagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

"But it was different days in 1982," he said.

He told BBC Radio Merseyside he thought at first he had been hit by shrapnel from an artillery round but then realised he had been shot.

"The bullet passed through the centre of my nose, and destroyed my right eye, jaw and cheekbone and front teeth," he said.

Explaining how he coped with the severe injuries and a lifetime of surgery, he said: "I still have my moments, but like everything, you learn to live with it."
