Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment Takes Two Gold Medals on Cambrian Patrol
Teams from the British Army’s Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment have won two Gold Medals at this year’s Exercise Cambrian Patrol. With 137 teams from 37 different countries, Cambrian Patrol 2018 was the biggest yet, with Storm Callum adding additional challenges to the already gruelling competition.
Soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Battalions, The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, went home with Gold, with colleagues from the Reserve’s 3rd Battalion being recognised with a Certificate of Merit. Despite the extreme conditions ten teams won Gold Medals.
