In this episode, we sit down with Lance Bombardier Prout to relive one of the fiercest firefights of the Afghan campaign. On a mission to probe Taliban defences in Yatimchay, his platoon walked into a deadly ambush. Under heavy fire, Prout crossed open ground to rescue a wounded comrade and later coordinated artillery and air support that saved the entire patrol.
Through reflection and raw honesty, he shares what courage feels like in the moment — and how soldiers reconcile heroism, loss, and survival long after the gunfire fades.
Join us as we relive that day: the noise, the dust, the fear — and the resolve that transforms ordinary men into heroes
