A PORT Glasgow soldier has received royal recognition for his decades of work in the armed forces.
Major Robert Crawford was recently presented with an MBE by Princess Anne during a special ceremony at Holyrood's barracks.
The local man, who left to join the army at 16, has served in the armed forces for more than 30 years and has travelled across the world during his career.
The dedicated serviceman was named in last year’s New Year’s honours list, but only received the award recently due to being stationed in the south Pacific.
