A British former soldier who lost an eye after being shot by a sniper in Iraq is asking for the public’s help to find his missing glass eye collection, which cost nearly $3500.

Simon Brown, 39, was a corporal in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers when he sustained facial injuries during a rescue mission in Basra, Iraq in 2006, according to the Blind Veterans UK website.

“I was out there as a recovery commander,” Brown said in a video interview.
