ARMY FINALLY ADMITS YOUNG SOLDIER RISKS

DEFENCE chiefs have finally admitted suicide rates among young soldiers are "significantly higher" than in the rest of society.

The number of victims aged 20 to 24 has tripled in recent years, from eight in 2013-2017 to 23 in 2018-2022.

And suicides by teenage soldiers doubled in the same period, a Ministry of Defence report revealed.

Overall, 287 service personnel took their own lives from 2003 to 2022.

The MoD has always maintained that suicide rates in the armed forces do not differ from the rest of society.
