Synopsis

A squad of men from the Paras meet in a cold station waiting room. They are about to set out on a journey that will change all their lives.

Welcome Home looks at the heroes, those who survived the Falklands campaign, and at the stresses on men asked to act as pall-bearers for a fellow soldier killed in that war. 

"Soldiers can't bury another soldier and do justice to him with tears running down their cheeks, snot sniffing in their noses and sobs coming out of their throats can they?"
