Extract from the 'Sun' 9 July
PRINCE Charles today handed over service medals to soldiers who fought in Afghanistan, telling the troops how proud he was of their work.
Forty-four members of 9 Regiment, Army Air Corps, met the heir to the throne at a special reception in the gardens of Clarence House.
Charles, the Army Air Corps' Colonel in Chief, inspected the 43 men and one woman as they lined up in two rows in their smart uniforms and pale blue berets.
