Back on the Home Front:
BBC One 8:30pm Monday 9 June 2008.
Panorama revisits the Grenadier Guards who fought on the frontline in Afghanistan last summer and asks what happened after Taking on the Taleban.
In the Panorama special: Taking on the Taleban, Panorama followed a unit of British soldiers - the Grenadier Guards - for six months as they fought on the frontline in Afghanistan.
The programme captured some of the fiercest close quarter combat fought by British troops in over half a century.
Now Panorama catches up with those soldiers.
Leaving the army
Some tell Panorama they are planning to leave the army.
The shorter breaks between tours of duty have meant they have been away from their families for longer than usual.
Others have decided they just want a different career altogether.
This is at a time when the army is experiencing acute manpower shortages particularly in the infantry.
