“It’s also a great lift for the families and it’s good for them to know there’s such a wealth of public support for what they do.”

The centre currently houses about 30 military casualties suffering from lost limbs, spinal and blast injuries and gunshot wounds.

A number of injured service personnel are also being treated in a military-managed ward at the hospital.

Major Cheeseman added: “We provide a whole raft of practical support and bring in welfare.

“We do a lot of things for the guys – we take them out for pub lunches.

“It’s good because it starts the normalisation process.

“The treatment at Selly Oak has always been world class and now we are combining that with a world class facility at the QE.

“It can only improve the clinical service we provide.”
