Men from the Fire Support Group of B Company from The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland enjoy the small but homely comforts of Observation Post Dara.

Against the constant drone of the generator, which powers the communications, television and fridge, the guys keep watch over the green zone, protecting the larger Forward Operating Base Ouellette.

As well as ‘stag,’ the men take it in turns to cook for each other with the majority of food coming from 10 man ration boxes with some fresh rations thrown in. They also take it in turns to clean up the dishes and choose the films to watch in the best TV room in Helmand.

The rotation is broken up according to the tents with each one housing six of the guys. The tents are airy but get quite hot during the day, and some of the guys have chosen to live out ‘old-school,’ under ponchos, which, because of the Afghan summer temperature, is possibly more comfortable than being in the tent.

The remains of two World War I soldiers have finally been laid to rest nearly 100 years after they were killed in action, and three years after they were found in a field in France.

Lieutenant John Harold Pritchard and Private Christopher Douglas Elphick, both of The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) were buried with full military honours at the HAC Cemetery in Ecoust-St Mein, near Arras in France, just two miles from where they fell in Bullecourt next to the Hindenburg Line.

In honour of HM The Queen’s Birthday, 14th Regiment Royal Artillery fired a gun salute from Gun Wharf at the Tower of London at 1pm on Monday. The regiment, based at Larkhill, provided three L118 Ceremonial Light Guns, similar to those currently used in Afghanistan, to fire a 62-gun salute at 10-second intervals.

Whilst a Royal Salute normally comprises 21 guns, this is increased to 41 if fired from a Royal Park or Residence. Uniquely, at The Tower of London, which is a Royal Residence, a total of 62 rounds are fired on Royal anniversaries because this also includes an additional 21 guns for the citizens of the City of London to show their loyalty to the Monarch.

Pathfinder Parachuting During Exercise Eagle’s Eye

A soldier of the Parachute Regiment’s Pathfinder Platoon descends from the sky during Exercise Eagle’s Eye near Siena, Italy.

The eyes and ears of the British Army’s rapid reaction force were put through their paces on a demanding training exercise in Italy.

Exercise Eagles Eye saw 16 Air Assault Brigade troops, who specialise in reconnaissance, work alongside the Italian Brigata Paracadutisti Folgore. The aim of the training was to test the full range of Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities and share techniques and tactics with their Italian counterparts.
