Min Mahar was one of three men posted to a lookout at the foot of a mountain deep inside Myanmar when he spotted a unit of some 30 junta soldiers.

Despite being outnumbered, the trio grabbed their AK47 and M16 assault rifles and opened fire.

But in the aftermath of the two-hour clash, Mr Mahar ’s vision clouded as an infection spread.

Eventually, medics had to remove his left eye and replace it with a glass replica.
