Shropshire printing firm designs Camp Bastion posters

A Shropshire-based printing firm has created a number of posters and leaflets for Camp Bastion in Afghanistan free of charge.

Graphics and Print were contacted by the main military base for British soldiers in the country after they helped out the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Regiment with a similar request in 2012.

Martin Kells, managing director of the company, said everyone connected with the firm was more than happy to assist the soldiers.

"I [feel] a deep sense of pride in being able to help a group of people who are doing such an amazing job for this country," he added.

In the end, the designs for six types of posters and seven different printed leaflets were agreed upon and they have been used in Camp Bastion's cafe to advertise themed nights that are designed to keep morale high among troops.

Mr Kells stated he is "as passionate as ever" when it comes to supporting the armed forces.
