The lengths that soldiers go to in their career has been revealed in the series of photographs

THEY are the soldiers who risk their lives to save ours.

Now, the lengths that British Army soldiers go to has been revealed in a stunning set of photographs, showing soldiers crawling through mud, trekking through the waters of Brunei and even jumping out of planes.

The photographs include the image of the Y company conducting jungle warfare training in Brunei, with soldiers needing to learn how to deal with the unique environment, as well as the heart-warming return home of the fighters.

The images of soldiers training for the worst were revealed in the Army Photographic Competition 2016.

From black and white images of the trenches to vivid jungle shots, the photographs show the varied terrain that soldiers must go through to serve their country.
