Dear Army Sec-Group (MULTIUSER),

Thank you for your response.

So, there was no British Army support given to the TV show? Because the end credits thank the Welsh Guards for their assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Tarik Ata

Dear Mr Ata,

The Welsh Guards Association helped to facilitate interviews with veterans.
