The shocking images prompted an emotional discussion between siblings Sophie and Pete Sandiford who talked about the men that have to stay behind to fight.

"I don't know how I'd feel if I got held back to fight the war. You can't go 'no, I'm going'," said Pete.

"But do I really want to get shot at and potentially killed?"

The thought of her brother being in danger clearly upset Sophie, who could be seen welling up.
