A TRIPLE amputee shows his horrific injuries to George Osborne on the Chancellor?s visit to a military ward yesterday.
Scots Guardsman Dave Watson lost both legs and his right arm stepping on a Taliban bomb.
Docs did not expect him to survive ? and his heart stopped twice on the emergency flight home.
Mr Osborne wore a wristband and lapel badge to support The Sun backed charity Help For Heroes.
And Dave, of Lancs, told him at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham: ?With the wars ending there?s a danger military charities like Help For Heroes will get ignored ? but with so many lads having come back like me, the need is even greater than before.?
Dave, 26, back for more surgery, thanked him for the ?1million donated from Barclays bank fines to help grieving military families.
Dave then quipped: ?Now, any chance of a pay rise??
His mum Angela, 49, said: ?Bankers partly ruined the country, so it?s good they?re being made to give a lot back.?
Mr Osborne also toured a new ?6.1million building to house family visitors, part-funded by The Sun?s parent company News International.
