28 AUGUST 2021... THE LAST BRITISH TROOPS LEFT AFGHANISTAN

Five years ago today, the final British military flight left Kabul.

It brought to an end almost 20 years of British military involvement in Afghanistan.

Over 12 months of my own youth were spent there.

Two tours. Different times, different roles, but a country and experiences that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Like thousands of others, I went because that was the job. We served alongside some incredible people, made friendships that will last a lifetime and saw things that are difficult to explain to anyone who wasn't there.

More than 150,000 British personnel served in Afghanistan.

457 British personnel lost their lives.
Whatever your opinion of the war, the politics or the way it eventually ended, those numbers represent real people.

Sons. Daughters. Fathers. Mothers. Brothers. Sisters. Friends.

For many veterans, Afghanistan isn't something in a history book.

It was part of our youth.

And for 457 of our own, it was where their future ended.

Today we remember them.

Lest We Forget. ❤️🌹
