It’s the details that resonate. ‘Grass seed and weedkiller’ have been added to the shopping lists of operational managers based in Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The grass seed is for the memorial sites planted on the actual places where soldiers (and their support teams) have been killed on active duty (the number has now risen to 289). The weedkiller is to kill off the intrusive summer weeds that are making life more difficult for those trying to seek out the Taleban.
Bank Holiday Monday on Radio 1 was given over to British Forces Broadcasting Service live from Camp Bastion in Afghanistan. The ten-hour takeover was given no billing in the Radio Times or the national press but is probably one of the most important days in the history of the station, which has never before linked up in this way with BFBS.
