British soldiers return to gun battle zone in Afghanistan

British troops attacked in a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan’s dangerous “Green Zone” yesterday were straight back inside the area today.

Twenty-four hours after a gun battle which saw two of their comrades injured - one seriously – troops from the 1st Battalion, the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment (1WFR) drove into the zone in Helmand Province for a meeting with local elders.
