A TEENAGE soldier from Kendal won a top prize when he graduated from the Army Foundation College.

Junior Soldier Billy Procter, 17, was named best in physical training at the prestigious military training establishment.

The former Kirkbie Kendal School pupil was presented with the Fox Cup as part of a passing out parade from the college in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

More than 600 junior soldiers graduated from the college last week going on to do their phase two training.

Billy said: “They push you a lot at the Army Foundation College, I’ve really developed a lot in terms of strength and conditioning.”
