Do you believe we should send more British troops?

Victoria Derbyshire | 08:49 UK time, Tuesday, 14 July 2009

ross_meehan400x300.jpgWelcome to leafy Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. We're at the home of a serving British soldier.

Ross Meehan is a 27-year-old sapper in the Royal Engineers. He is due to go back to Afghanistan in September for a six-month tour of duty.

This morning we will be live from the family home with Ross's mum Jane, stepdad Steve, brother Alex and nanna Gladys.

We're here to talk about the family's hopes and fears when it comes to this war in Afghanistan.

Do you believe we should send more British troops?
