According to The Independent, Charles remarked to one officer during the visit, “You are amazing, I don’t know how you do it.

I am full of admiration.” The group of recruits training in England comprises 200 men, training under the command of Major Tony Harris, of New Zealand’s armed forces.

Speaking afterward, Harris said of his chat with the King, “We were talking about the fact they’ve returned to trench warfare and the contrast with World War One and how we’re back in trenches in the 21st century.” He continued, “Because of the really stout defence the Ukrainians have put in – they’ve been able to hold Russian forces to pretty much a stalemate in large parts of the theatre – the large part of holding the line is digging in and preparing for the worst.” READ MORE: Miss Ukraine Viktoria Apanasenko’s Empowering Outfit On Miss Universe Stage Goes Viral Harris added, “We’ve always dug fortification as defensive measures.
