Wounded soldiers ready for Pole trek

A group of wounded service personnel who will attempt to race across the South Pole have undergone vital medical checks ahead of their expedition.

The six adventurers, who are part of Walking With The Wounded (WWTW), are expected to be joined by the charity's patron Prince Harry when they set out on the journey in November.

The team of six will eventually be whittled down to four, who will race against similar groups from the US and around the Commonwealth to reach the Pole.
