Royal Engineers honoured for their work in Afghanistan

Royal Engineers who have been helping to build a more secure Afghanistan have received their richly deserved 'Herrick' campaign medals at Chetwynd Barracks in Nottinghamshire.

The soldiers from 67 Works Group Royal Engineers marched onto the parade square in front of proud family and friends to receive their medals from their Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Brian Williams.
