Soldier is Hugged by his Wife on his Return from Afghanistan

A long awaited hug as a soldier from 1 Regiment Royal Horse Artillery arrives back at base in Tidworth following a long deployment to Afghanistan.

 

The soldiers from 1st Regiment Royal Horse Artillery returned to their base at Assaye Barracks in Tidworth, Wiltshire after a challenging six month deployment to Afghanistan.

 

During their tour they played a key role in the recent Operation Moshtarak providing artillery support with 105mm Light Guns for 11 Light Brigade.

 

The gunners also helped to train and mentor the Afghan National Army's Artillery and enabled them to fire for the first time in support of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
