A very royal surge

Not to be outdone by the Americans the British are going to have a troop surge of their own. As you may or may not know by now Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne and the grandson of German and Greek immigrants, is to be deployed to Iraq after much ministerial hand-wringing. Of course his grandmother is very concerned about his well being and, in order to ease her concerns, the military is to send a extra group of special forces troops to keep him safe. Not only that but he after two months will get to go home and help organise a concert to honour the anniversary of his mum's death. Not every soldier gets that, do they?
