In 2007, former Grenadier Guards officer, Capt Alexander Allan, completed a six-month deployment to Helmand province in Afghanistan - photographing many of his experiences while he was there. The remarkable images, offering a unique insight into life on patrol and in camp, have now been published in a book - Afghanistan: A Tour of Duty - with all profits going to The British Limbless Ex Servicemen Association. Take a look at Capt Allan's photographs, as he describes what it was like on the front line.
