Martin Stirling, 26, and Jamie Simpson, 21, whose families live on the same street in Maryhill, are today living just doors apart once again in Glencorse barracks near Edinburgh
Two Glasgow neighbours who went to the same school have found themselves serving side-by-side as soldiers in the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
"Martin's friends with my older brother, so I've always known him, whether it was through school or playing football together." Fus Simpson said: "I signed up as soon as I left school. I've always known it was what I wanted to do, so that was me away."
