'Soldier on' - experiencing Afghanistan
A new play aims to show people the experience of soldiers in Afghanistan
What is it like when you have lived through war and then end up performing in a play about the experiences of soldiers - both during and after leaving the armed forces. A group of military veterans are part of the cast of a play that's just opened in London and will soon be on tour. It's called Soldier On - written by Jonathan Guy Lewis, with Lance Corporal Cassidy Little among the actors - he is a former Royal Marine medic who lost part of his right leg in an explosion in Afghanistan.
