Army veteran Trevor Coult is selling his military medals because he says they bring back terrible memories of his time on the frontline.

The ex Colour Sergeant served in Iraq and Afghanistan - surviving eight bomb blasts and over 70 enemy attacks. He was awarded the Military Cross for fighting off insurgents in Baghdad in 2005. It's the third highest military honour.

Trevor says he has since suffered from PTSD, and the symptoms include not liking being in crowded places, and not liking fireworks. He admitted he sometimes thinks "why is he wearing this [...] can I take this guy on?" when he sees someone wearing a prayer hat. "If I'm going into a room and I'm sitting down I sit near the fire exit...it can be a nightmare, it takes over your life." he said.

Trevor told 5 live's Adrian Chiles he is selling the military cross because when he looks at it:

"I don't see success, I see the torment I've had since the day I was awarded it."
