The 39 year-old photographer, who was born in London, was travelling with US soldiers in the Kandahar
region of Afghanistan on Monday when the bomb blast struck. He was later taken to a UN hospital where he underwent several amputations. He has since been flown to Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital to undergo another surgery.According to Giles’ brother David, the photographer has lost both of his legs, one above the knee and one below, as well as his left arm, which had been severed just above the elbow. He added however that Giles hadn’t experienced any internal injuries and was in good spirits and was surprising those around him with humour and resilience."
