Soldier Soldier followed the trials and tribulations of the soldiers of The King’s Own Fusiliers Infantry Regiment (and their girlfriends and wives) over seven seasons.
Transmission of the original season was initially postponed early in 1991 because of the Gulf War. Additional material was filmed to reflect recent events.
As the series began, and with a six-month tour of duty in Northern Ireland behind them, the officers and men of the King’s Fusiliers returned to their Midlands headquarters and had to re-adjust to family life just as their wives and girlfriends had to cope with living with them again.
One of their colleagues had been shot dead by a sniper two days before their tour ended, which was not only an emotional loss but was also treated as a professional cock-up. For his wife, his death also meant that she and her family had to leave their army quarters.
The action-packed series was filmed all over the globe and made stars of two of its leading men – Robson Green and Jerome Flynn.
