    Gotta love British soldiers in Afghanistan doing a bit of Christmas Gangnam style…

    Troops from the 4th Mechanized Brigade at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan perform their own Gangnam Style parody for charity in a video that has become an internet sensation. Named Afghan Style, the video was filmed with help from the British Forces broadcasting service over a three-month period during soldiers’ downtime

    • The regiment is using the video to help raise funds for the Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team, which operates close to the troops’ UK base in Ripon, North Yorkshire. Donations can be made here
