The Metropolitan Police have charged two serving British Army soldiers for various serious offences following an investigation by the Met’s elite Flying Squad. 

Kirtland Gill, 40, of Berkshire, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to sell or transfer ammunition and one count of possession of a prohibited weapon (an imitation firearm capable of discharging noxious liquid)

Rajon Graham, 32, of Berkshire, has been charged with one count of conspiracy to sell or transfer ammunition and four counts of selling or transferring ammunition.

Gill hit the headlines last year after becoming the first black soldier to lead the prestigious Queen’s elite Coldstream Guards.

The Jamaican-born soldier came to visit family in the UK in 2001, aged 20, and instead joined the British Army. He rose to the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major. 

The Sun reported that Gill met the Queen twice in his 20-year career and that the pair were arrested at separate addresses in Berkshire on Thursday.

It said the arrests sent ‘shockwaves’ through the regiment, which guards the Queen at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

Both have been bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 1 July.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
