Rifles' royal visit
3:00pm Tuesday 18th December 2007 in News By Steve Dancey
THE Duchess of Cornwall visited soldiers from the Tidworth and Bulford Garrison on Friday when she presented operational medals to soldiers who have returned from a six-month tour of Iraq.
The soldiers from the 4th Battalion The Rifles are based at Kiwi Barracks and have had the Duchess as their royal colonel since formation from the Green Jackets earlier this year.
Immediately after the parade the Duchess met privately with families of the injured and fallen.
