Saw this in the news this morning. Lucky boy.
God Bless this Manchester lad !
A soldier has been described as "the luckiest in the British Army" after a bullet went through his helmet, but missed his head by 2mm.
Private Leon "Willy" Wilson, 32, a Territorial Army soldier from Manchester, was knocked over by the impact of the shot in Afghanistan.
But he was left without a mark after the bullet ripped through his headgear.
"The medic was looking queasy - I don't think anyone wanted to take my helmet off," Pte Wilson said.
The father of three was back on duty within an hour of the near-miss.
