A Gulf war veteran has blamed a cocktail of vaccines for harming his health during the 1991 conflict.
Richard Turnbull, 52, from North Wales told the Gulf War Illnesses Inquiry in London the treatment affected his breathing and caused chest pains.
In 10 minutes he received vaccines including plague and anthrax, malaria and nerve agent pre-treatment tablets.
The independent inquiry is examining the conditions which veterans say afflicted them on their return.
Complaints by ex-servicemen include mood swings, memory loss, lack of concentration, night sweats, general fatigue, sexual problems, sensitivity to chemicals and cancerous tumours.
