Support our troops

3 RIFLES have deployed on another gruelling tour of Afghanistan.new-wrist-band Casualties are sadly often part of the job. During their last tour the 3 RIFLES Battlegroup lost 30 soldiers and suffered many more seriously injured.

The bottom line is that our soldiers risk their lives and bodies on our behalf and we need to do everything we can to support them and to show our appreciation of their sacrifices.
