A former British soldier stranded in Afghanistan is planning an exodus by land with about 400 Afghan nationals.

Ben Slater, a former Royal Military Police Officer who served as a bodyguard to British ambassadors, will try to bring his 50 staff and about 350 other Afghans across the border to a nearby country so they can eventually be processed to enter the UK, according to The Telegraph.
