A HOLSWORTHY army cadet has completed courses which will allow him to share his skills with younger team mates.

Army Cadet Corporal David Fairbrother, aged 17, from the Holsworthy Detachment of Devon Army Cadet Force has passed a two day Junior Instructors Course held recently at Okehampton battle camp.

The course aims to improve the capability and confidence of young people who deliver lessons and instruct their peers in ACF based skills including drill, field craft and expedition training.
