A soldier has been described as "the luckiest in the British Army" after a bullet hit 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.

The father of three was back on duty within an hour of the near-miss.
