After a demanding and successful final tour of Afghanistan, 200 soldiers from The 2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2 RTR) marched through the streets of Bristol to mark their return home.

The Wiltshire based Regiment spent almost seven months on active duty as part of Operation Herrick 18 in Helmand Province, providing support to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). The Regiment, based in Tidworth, Wiltshire, played a vital role in ensuring that the ANSF are fully prepared to take control of their country. The Regiment's deployment on this operation was its last prior to amalgamation with 1st Royal Tank Regiment in August 2014.
