POTENTIAL soldiers have attended a recruitment drive to find out more about joining the Army.

The four-hour event was held at Holly Hedge House, Wat Tyler Road, Blackheath.

Possible recruits were given the chance to talk to soldiers from a host of regiments including the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and the Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment.

There was also a 30-minute presentation about the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, which takes 1,400 applicants aged 16 and 17 each year from across the UK.

The college is designed for people too young for adult entry into the Army and offers a 42-week progressive training course.

Visitors tried their hand at a host of interactive activities including clay pigeon shooting.
