British artist and former paratrooper, Derek Eland spent a month in Afghanistan in 2011 as an official war artist with 16 Air Assault Brigade. He set up 'Diary Rooms' on the front line and asked soldiers to write a postcard about their experiences. He's now started a blog about his time in Afghanistan and is publishing one handwritten story a day for a year. Please have a look and help spread the word in order to get 'their words' out there. www.inourownwordsafghanistan.blogspot.co.uk
