Some of us would have heard the stories of soldiers putting their life on the line in the Middle East while fighting in the war. During this devastating period, many soldiers have been killed, but some have managed to survive, with injuries that they'll live with for the rest of their lives.

The photos below were taken by photographer David Jay, who compiled the photos into a series called “Unknown Soldiers” to document the severe impact war had on these wounded soldiers. Here are 10 photos of veterans who managed to return home from war.

Bobby was the only survivor after the transport he was in caught ablaze when it was impacted by a roadside bomb in Iraq.
