HERO soldiers who were injured in battle have visited Glasgow on a 1000 mile charity walk.

The Walk of Britain is an expedition organised by Walking with the Wounded which is supported by Prince Harry.

Six veterans started the trip on August 22 in Banffshire and will spend 72 days walking the length of the country finishing at Buckingham Palace on November 1.

The four British and two US wounded veterans are regularly joined by other soldiers who have been injured in the line of duty and the Prince will also join them on the way.

They decided to take part to highlight the extraordinary determination of wounded armed forces personnel and to raise awareness of the work Walking with the Wounded does in supporting injured veterans with long term employment.

Stewart Hill, 44, from Derbyshire suffered a traumatic brain injury while commanding The Royal Welsh B company in Afghanistan.

Royal Marine Scott Ransley, 26, from West Yorkshire lost the site in one eye after an IED detonated.

Matt Fisher, 30, from Surrey who served with 3 Rifles had to have his left leg amputation as a result of a gunshot wound.

Royal Marine, Alec Robotham, 29, from Hampshire suffered multiple injuries as a result of a suicide bomb attack.

Andrew Bement of the US Marine Corp suffered post traumatic stress and Kirstie Ennis, also of the US Marine Corp suffered multiple injuries as a result of a helicopter crash.

They met Lord Provost Sadie Docherty and visited the Scottish veterans residence at Bellrock Close in Cranhill.

She said: "These inspirational servicemen and women make us all incredibly humble and proud. They have my support and I’m sure will gain the support of everyone who meets them.

"I’d ask everyone to back their charity. Their courage and determination to make a difference despite their injuries is what makes them exceptional individuals.”
