British forces leave their last outpost in Helmand

British forces have pulled out of their last outpost in Helmand, in Afghanistan.

The only British troops in Helmand are now in their main base at Camp Bastion, which they will leave later this year.

At the peak of the British engagement there were 137 bases in the troubled south-western province, source of most of the world's illegal heroin.

Congratulations on getting out and salute to those who served there.

Not forgetting one of our community who is still serving out there :salute:

Anybody know why our military personnel were sent there to begin with?

Now that we're all leaving, it won't take long for the Taliban to take it all back and begin the resurgence in Opium Poppy cultivation.:-?
