EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of the Royal Gurkha Rifles during their deployment in Helmand, Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014. Taken in the year 2006, the image documents a moment of intense focus as a Gurkha soldier operates a general-purpose machine gun, guarding against potential threats in the arid and unforgiving terrain. The dust-laden air, a constant companion during operations in Helmand, is captured in the fine details of the soldiers' uniforms and equipment. The stormy sky overhead adds an ominous backdrop to the scene, underscoring the challenges faced by these brave men and women in their mission to maintain peace and stability in the region. The photograph is part of a multimedia collection associated with the Royal Gurkha Rifles in Afghanistan, and was taken during Operation Desert Herrick, a British military campaign that took place between 2001 and 2014. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Royal Gurkha Rifles and the British military during their service in Afghanistan.
