Competing in his first ever Invictus Games, 34-year-old Karl, of Devon, served as a Lance Corporal in the Army before he was medically discharged due to physical injuries in 2007. He is looking forward to being a part of the Invictus Games team and interacting with men and women with the same sense of military humour. “Being part of the training camps was a breath of fresh air and seeing people I've not seen for over 10 years was uplifting. It means a lot to me.”
