This is the real diary of a soldier who fought on the frontline in Afghanistan. In his own words, Pte.C.Burtenshaw 3011 6964 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, writes a brutally honest account of his experiences, not just as his therapy, but for his children.
The Diary Of My Afghanistan Tour 2010/2011, portrays the human element of the Afghanistan conflict to help those back home understand, that ‘as much as we love of our jobs and being out here, we are all of us, still human.’
It is a person. It is inspired by Conrad Lewis. Who became the 353rd soldier in the theatre of Afghanistan to give up everything for what he believed in.
353 is a charitable trust with the aim of helping members of the military community by delivering long-term support to a variety of charities, soldiers and their families.
