Princess Anne welcomes UK troops home after eventful Cyprus deployment
601Hundreds of Household Cavalry troops have been welcomed back to the UK by the Princess Royal after an eventful deployment in Cyprus.
Last month, three of them were assaulted by Turkish Cypriot forces as they tried to stop the construction of an unauthorised road.
The soldiers had spent almost half a year deployed on Operation TOSCA, Britain's contribution to the UN peacekeeping force patrolling 24/7 along the buffer zone that separates the Greek and Turkish parts of the island.
