Young Soldiers

The first five weeks of the new recruits' basic training course in Catterick proves tough.

Some of the recruits question their decision of joining the army at such a dangerous time.

Darren Meads and Andrew Forti have graduated as soldiers and prepare to join their new battalion, 1 Rifles, in deployment in Afghanistan.

The training is over for Darren and Andrew as they are deployed to Afghanistan.

Three of the recruits look back on their journey as they return from their tour of duty.
