‘Remembrance will be difficult’: Afghanistan veterans reeling from Taliban takeover

Former major says withdrawal has prompted some British veterans to question value of time in country

This year's Remembrance Sunday commemorations will be the first since last summer's chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, events that have prompted many British veterans to question the value of their time in the country.

One of those is Rob Shenton, a former major who has suffered from bouts of depression and PTSD, and served two tours in the country before he was medically discharged by the army in 2016 after 25 years, after a period of poor mental health.
