Daily Mail Forced To Help Wounded Soldier

Daily Mail Forced To Help Wounded Soldier Paratrooper Ben Parkinson gave his heartfelt thanks yesterday to Daily Mail readers who have donated an astonishing total of £210,000 to his legal fighting fund.

Doctors described him as the most injured soldier to survive in modern times, yet Whitehall red tape meant he was offered a lump sum of just £152,000 – less than a third of the £484,000 compensation paid to a civilian RAF typist who sued after developing a repetitive strain injury in her hand.
