ONE of the Army's top generals has visited a college to see the work done with young soldiers.

Lieutenant General Freddie Viggers, the Army's adjutant general, visited the Darlington Technology College at Catterick.

The college is working with soldiers from the infantry training centre, in Catterick Garrison.

Lt Gen Viggers said: "The garrison is very lucky to have such modern teaching establishment as part of its community and it's encouraging to see the partnership at first hand."

The college is working with recruits and their families to provide a range of courses from language training to IT studies.
