Soldiers from the Queen’s Dragoon Guards, known as the Welsh Cavalry, joined forces with their Afghan counterparts to mount the operation to strike at insurgents who had been firing at the headquarters of 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment (2 MERCIAN) in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province.
The operation resulted in the seizure of a stash of munitions and the 82mm recoilless rifle, designed to smash through tank armour.
Intelligence reports received since the raid suggest that Taliban chiefs are furious at the loss of the weapon.

A good result for the surety of country and his new birth. The activity of soldiers, that we call duty, has done other positive results.
Thanks to them and their haamanity and resilience.

Um… very curious as to why the soldier nearest camera is going into action with a pitchfork! Could you please explain or is it some new ultra-secret weapons system.
Cheers,
Craig.
