Soldiers of 6 Platoon, B Coy, The 1st Battalion the Royal Welsh, return fire against insurgents in the Green Zone. 1 Royal Welsh (The Royal Welch Fusiliers) were busy patrolling the area surrounding their check point in the Green Zone in the Spring of 2010. Their objective was to search for an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) which was believed to have been planted in a nearby compound. During the task the patrol came under attack from small arms fire, however the patrol managed to successfully extract under fire without casualties. Despite the disruption to the patrol the area was searched and proved clear of IED’s.
