THE Prince of Wales visited Salisbury Plain yesterday, taking part in the mock assault.

He was part of a multi-vehicle attack on an enemy stronghold within a wooded area, which culminated in troops assaulting the location.

The exercise formed part of William’s first visit to the 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment as their Colonel-in-Chief.
