Five episodes of 'Ross Kemp in Afghanistan 2007', featuring 1 R ANGLIAN, were broadcast on Sky TV in Jan - Feb 08. A great piece of reporting and fantastic coverage of the battalion, too.
For those who missed it, or did not have Sky TV, Tim Wilkes kindly sent advice that the series is available to anyone with a computer and broadband via ‘YouTube’.

Editorial Rule
 To qualify for inclusion in the B&C there is only one rule - something described must have been said to have happened. 
The authority is the Editor, British Army Review No 114 Dec 96, `If the facts don't fit the legend, print the legend’.

However, the rules of good taste, respect and confidentiality are always applied.

Rule Britannia!
