Summary

Description
English: A soldier returning from Afghanistan is reunited with his son.

Soldiers from B (Rorke's Drift) Company, the 2nd Battalion The Royal Welsh arrive back from Afghanistan to their base in Tidworth in Wiltshire.

The soldiers were welcomed back by their families, friends and colleagues after playing a key front line role as an Armoured Infantry Battlegroup in Helmand Province using the Warrior armoured fighting vehicle.

Around 150 soldiers from B Company deployed on Operation Herrick in July 2010. They assisted with the security and stabilisation programme in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

They also helped provide security during the rebuilding of Highway 1 - A main route providing communications throughout Afghanistan. The Company played an integral part in providing security for the joint Afghan, UK and US project.
