Jack was a hero in Afghanistan, honoured for his bravery after his involvement in some of the fiercest fighting in the territory that left two of his fellow soldiers dead and many more seriously wounded. But back home in the UK Ben found Jack struggling to readjust to civilian life and frequently involved in fights near his Aldershot barracks.

Ben followed Jack's exploits for two months in Afghanistan and then back home as Jack was charged with assault and GBH, stripped of his rank, and faced the prospect of four years in a civilian prison.
