UK - Military - Young man in army recruiting office

A young man who is interested in joining the British army has dropped in to a recruiting office in Central London. Sitting in front of an action picture of serving soldiers already living their own adventurous dream for Queen and country. They are on manoeuvres with a tank and others in support from the same platoon in the background. The lad is reading every word a brochure published by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) called Infantry Soldier which will give him the facts about the job and answer his questions regarding a new career. With squeezes on the budgets for supplying servicemen's equipment, this young recruit may not find realities of life in the armed services as idyllic as is suggested on paper.
