The Guardian's Audrey Gillan has written a powerful, moving piece about an ambush by Taliban troops against a small patrol of British troops in Afghanistan last year that left possibly dozens of Taliban dead and two British fatalities. "I imagined the structure of the article like a film, starting with this big last supper they have before their tour ends" Gillan said.
Guardian.co.uk also produced this interactive graphic and video feature of the troops describing what happened.
I just found some good images on flickr of British troops in Afghanistan on flick by photographer Jim Birt, including this one of troops at base. I think this must be his professional page.
