Series summary:
Our latest series is dedicated to those who Served during Operation Telic and their families, marking the 20th anniversary of the commencement of operations. These personal stories are true life accounts of the realities of war.
Each episode, a member of the Armed Forces community who Served in Op Telic – or who’s life has been directly impacted – shares their experiences.
