After the fuss about photos in previous comps, looks like the organisers were well briefed about OPSEC/PERSEC - only one award winning team isn't photographed, just crowd shots - the following is as near as you'll get to photographic proof they were even there:

I knew a simple soldier boy.....
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Whatever the cost of participation was I reckon it was well worth it as it reflects the overall standard of the unit and most importantly concerns a key/core operational skill/ability in marked contrast to e.g the ES. I suppose there are some in certain quarters who would prefer to talk up horses jumping at Hickstead rather than units that can kill at 1000m+.
