YORKSHIRE soldiers back from a gruelling tour of duty in Afghanistan were being honoured today.
Medals were being handed out to troops from the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment, who flew back last week from their six-month tour.
Some of the troops being honoured at a ceremonial parade in Lancashire are from the Huddersfield area. The 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards) deployed to Afghanistan in September, 2009, to begin its third operational tour of the country in five years.
