Supermum Laura ‘hid’ injured arm for three years

Cork mother of three Laura Guerin, who lost her left hand in an army training accident five years ago, is SuperValu’s Supermum 2012.

Laura, who was nominated by her fiancé Brian, said she used to hide her arm wherever she went for almost three years after the mortar mishap.

Laura was one of five soldiers who were injured when a mortar exploded during training at Kilworth Camp in Co Cork in Dec 1997.
