Soldier who fronted Army diversity campaigns suing MOD over alleged racial abuse

A female soldier who has fronted Army equality and diversity campaigns is suing the Ministry of Defence after allegedly suffering racist abuse.

Corporal Kerry-Ann Knight has taken her case to an industrial tribunal.

Corporal Knight's face appeared on posters, including for the British Army's 'Your Army Needs You' campaign.

An MOD spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a soldier is pursuing a claim against the MOD alleging behaviour contrary to the Equality Act 2010.

"As this is the subject of ongoing legal proceedings, we are unable to comment further."
