WITH THE war safely over,
WITH THE war safely over, The Daily Mirror has decided to retrospectively support British troops:
Two British special forces soldiers were held prisoner in Syria after yomping almost 100 miles in three days.
Pursued by Saddam Hussein's troops, the men from an SAS-SBS team raced to safety when ambushed on a secret mission in Northern Iraq.
