With Armed Forces day fast approaching, towns and cities have started to mobilise to show their appreciation for the UK’s Armed Forces.

From Weymouth to Stirling, events have already begun to take place and today the Armed Forces Day flag was raised across the UK.

In the buildup to Armed Forces Day this Saturday 24 June, Forces News has been looking at some of the roles military personnel play across the world.

For the 1st Military Working Dog Regiment in Sennelager - the only operational unit in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps - their job is one of a kind.
