Two soldiers from the borough are swapping Colindale and Mill Hill for Kabul this week, as part of a Territorial Army (TA) peace-keeping force in the Afghan capital.

Lance Corporal Paul Warner, a labourer from Colindale, and Private Jason Turner, a lorry driver from Mill Hill, will patrol the streets of Kabul, guard the city airfield and be part of a quick reaction response unit with the 3rd Battalion Princess of Wales Royal Regiment, within Operation Fingal.

Priv Turner and Lance Corp Turner have been based at the TA centre in Deansbrook Road, Edgware, since joining the TA in 1997 and 2001 respectively.
