In a week celebrating our Armed Forces, we speak to two women who serve as reservists
A round one sixth of our Armed Forces personnel are made up of men and women who serve in the Reserve Forces.
In peacetime, Reservists balance their civilian life with military service, giving up spare time to train, support and supplement full-time military personnel to protect the security of the nation in Britain and overseas.
They can currently be found in operation in locations as diverse as Iraq, South Sudan and Cyprus.
