Summary

Description
English: Two hundred UK Armed Forces personnel deployed in late 2019 to South Yorkshire to support flood relief efforts.

Pictured are The Light Dragoons (carrying sandbags) providing support to the Environment Agency and Doncaster Council as part of the effort to reinforce flood defences in the village of Kirk Bramwith, South Yorkshire.
