Three Keighley men are serving at a top army training centre in Canada.

The trio - Sgt Neil Gallagher, Warrant Officer Class 2 Tim Emmot and Pvte Martin Bloomfield - are at the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) in Southern Alberta.

The site is a premier armoured-warfare fighting training area which caters for 8,000 people annually.

Neil, a former pupil of Oakbank School, Tim, formerly of Holy Family, and Martin - who attended Worth Valley Middle School - all recently took part in a charity kayak event. They and five colleagues travelled about 173km down the South Saskatchewan River.

If you have family or friends serving in the forces, why not get in touch with us so we can publicise their activities? Contact Alistair Shand on 01535 606611.
