Our man in Afghanistan
North Devon Journal sub-editor Simon Vannerley has served in the Territorial Army since 2004, rising through the ranks to become a Lieutenant in the 6th Battalion, The Rifles.
In May, he was called up for an operational tour in Afghanistan and will serve alongside fellow members of his battalion as a platoon commander.
Throughout Simon's build-up training and deployment to Afghanistan, he will be recording his experiences and sharing what it's like for soldiers on the ground in one of the world's most war-torn regions.
