JUST A REMINDER WHERE SOME OF THE GUNS ARE COMING FROM

NINE soldiers from the newly-formed Yorkshire Regiment are to be court-martialled over allegations of trading guns for drugs and cash. The soldiers, from the 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (The Duke of Wellington), have been accused of smuggling small arms out of Iraq with the intention of trying to sell them.
It is not known whether the guns have surfaced on the streets of Britain, but the Yorkshire Post understands that in at least one case the weapons were passed on to another soldier for sale outside the Army.
Most of the soldiers in question are still serving and are expected to appear at a directions hearing at Catterick Garrison on November 6.
The allegations, which surfaced in the summer, were investigated by the Special Investigations Branch of the Royal Military Police, which passed on its findings to the Army Prosecuting Authority (APA).
