A Scots soldier has won a top award for his photos vividly depicting Army life in Afghanistan. Corporal Jamie Peters took the overall first prize for his portfolio in the annual Army Photographic Competition.
The Royal Logistics Corps soldier, from Jedburgh in Roxburghshire, captured the stunning images during six months in Afghanistan as photographer for the Army’s Combat Camera Team. His overall winning image, Celtic Warrior, shows a soldier from 1st Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland cleaning his gun after an early morning patrol to an Afghan National Army checkpoint. Jamie’s work has now been put on show at the National Army Museum in Chelsea alongside the photos taken by other award-winners, who include both professionals and amateurs.
