Weekend Soldiers
Having taken the Queen's
Shilling, 14 young men joined the Territorial Army as D Company, Second Battalion the Wessex Regiment.
Over six months these raw recruits have been cajoled, persuaded and marched into becoming trained soldiers united in their desire to defend Queen and Country.
The programme follows D Company through bog and mountain, heat and storm, to the passing out parade when 14 soldiers join the ranks with pride.
