Ash Bhardwaj finds out why the British Army is shrinking at a crucial juncture for the future of UK defence.
He speaks to new recruits to understand what drove them to a career in the army – and visits secondary schools across the country to ask whether it’s really true that young people don't want to fight for their country.
