  I&apos;m just after clicking over from a Daily Mail &apos;Crossfire&apos; video, it also dedicated to the memory of two filmed personnel who have subsequently been killed. Really renews the seriousness of it all.

  Thank you. The video was very honest insight into the lives of the soldiers on and near the front. I hope they see the end of hostilities and get to go home. My heart is with you. 😊
