Armistice Day Marked By British Troops In Kandahar

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN - NOVEMBER 11: Brigadier Rob Thomson lays a wreath during a ceremony to mark Armistice Day attended by some of the British troops that still remain in Afghanistan at Kandahar airfield on November 11, 2014 in Kandahar, Afghanistan. Like Remembrance Sunday just gone, Armistice Day - which is the anniversary of the end of The First World War - has been marked by the remaining British troops for the last time in southern Afghanistan. Now that British combat operations have ended and the last UK base in Afghanistan has been handed over to the control of Afghan security forces, any remaining troops are leaving the country via Kandahar.
