The Weekend Warriors Go to War

Guardian Unlimited The weekend warriors go to war:

"They are bankers, abattoir workers, solicitors and HGV drivers, but they also have a second job - part-time soldiers. Foreign correspondent of the year Audrey Gillan was given unique access to the Territorial Army in southern Iraq, where she found out what it's like to be fixing the office photocopier one day - and getting shot at the next."

For those who don't know, the "Territorial Army" in the UK is like our National Guard.
