Sun Military Awards to Mark Achievements in Afghanistan

10 Dec 2014 12:28 PM

The Sun Military Awards return for their seventh year on Wednesday to celebrate the amazing work carried out by our servicemen and women.

In what is sure to be a moving tribute, the ceremony will mark the ending of combat operations in Afghanistan with 4 specially created ‘Afghan Heroes’ awards reflecting the challenges and achievements of the men and women who have served there.

These are:

• The Fire Fight: dealing with the intense fighting on the front line
• Bomb Disposal: highlighting the contribution of the teams dealing with the improvised explosive device threat
• Saving Lives: paying tribute to the work of the medical teams in supporting troops from front line to rehab
• Mentoring: recognising the work of the service personnel who have mentored and trained the Afghan Forces

They will be collected on the night by previous Millies winners on behalf of all the UK armed forces personnel who have worked in that field.
