Soldier: For King and Country

They're an elite fighting unit like no other - steeped in tradition, primed for battle, and ready to die for King and Country. If Britain goes to war in Eastern Europe, the brave men and women of The Royal Welsh will be on the frontline, laying down their lives to protect our cherished freedoms.

This series offers unprecedented access to the Royal Welsh, one of Britain's most decorated armoured infantry units, as they live together and train in their Warrior armoured vehicles, ready to be called up at a moment's notice to join a war in eastern Europe and beyond. When the going gets tough, these Welsh Warriors are the guys you call.

For six months, our cameras follow the 1st Battalion Royal Welsh as they live, work and train, preparing for a war that looks likelier every day. We follow every trial, every tradition, and every triumph, and witness the pride and the honour of serving in this incredible Welsh regiment.
