Follow 5th Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland (5 Scots) on their six month tour of Laskar Gah and the surrounding area of Helmand through their regular video diaries for The Daily Telegraph.

For a personal view of the UK's involvement in Afghanistan, The Daily Telegraph has armed members of the British Army in Afghanistan with pocket cameras to record video blogs of their experiences on the front line.

Join the men of 5 Scots on their first day in Helmand in Corporal Donald McMaster's video diary, and see how new recruits to the Afghan police force are trained in Sergeant Billy Carnegie's report.
