Remembrance Week
07/11/2011
Remembrance Week, shown all this week at 9.15am on BBC1, honours and celebrates the many faces of the British Armed Forces. In the first episode, Gethin talks to the soldiers based in the Hellmand province of Afghanistan and their continuing task of educating and stabilising the local community.
The program explores the reality of modern day conflicts as well as those from the past through the personal stories of people whose lives have been touched by war. The series will focus on modern day conflicts including the Falklands, Balkans, the Gulf Wars and Afghanistan.
Gethin said, “It’s a real privilege to be asked to spend time with our heroes home and abroad as we approach remembrance week. It’s a time to honour and reflect on the heroic work our armed forces - past and present - carry out.
