NEW allegations of gang rape, systematic bullying and sexual harassment at Deepcut barracks reignited the debate over abuse in the Army last night.

A leaked police report contains more than 100 allegations of serious abuse at the Surrey training camp, where four recruits died from gunshot wounds between 1995 and 2002.

It catalogues claims of rape, indecent assault, degrading treatment and racism made by Deepcut trainees during the Surrey Police inquiry into the deaths of the recruits.

In the majority of cases, the abuse is alleged to have been carried out by non-commissioned officers (NCOs).

Surrey Police said last night that many of the latest allegations were "untested" and that they should be treated with caution.

The Ministry of Defence said it had already indicated to the police that it wished to investigate the most serious claims as a matter of urgency.

The confidential report, which focuses on the years in which the four soldiers died, was presented to the Commons Defence Select Committee last month as part of its investigation into the duty of care regimes of all three armed services.

Among the dozens of allegations are claims that:

* When one female trainee went to the guardroom to complain she had been raped she was told she would be "disciplined for being in the male accommodation"

* One trainee complained she had been urinated on during the night by an officer

* Female trainees claimed they had been indecently assaulted while in bed

* A racist group, known as the Black Card Club, would place a card with a cross on it on the bed or locker of a recruit who was "due a beating"

* Trainees were forced to parade in their underwear. while on another occasion they were forced to stand outside in their boxer shorts while an officer threw darts at them.

Last night, Geoff Gray, whose son, also called Geoff, from Seaham, County Durham, was one of the recruits who died at Deepcut, described the claims as "mind-blowing" and said he felt sick he had ever allowed his son to attend the camp.

Mr Gray said he was sickened by the latest allegations surrounding the barracks.

"It is horrifying to think my son was allowed to go there," he said.

"It tells me that the culture there was one of sexual abuse and physical abuse, and that officers must have turned a blind eye and allowed it to happen.

"We need a public inquiry to bring everything out into the open so the public can see exactly what happened there."

The allegations were compiled by Surrey Police during the investigation into the deaths of Geoff Gray, 17; Sean Benton, 20, from Hastings, East Sussex; James Collinson, 17, from Perth, Scotland; and Cheryl James, 18, from Llangollen, north Wales.

The leak will also strengthen calls for an inquiry to examine allegations of bullying at Catterick Garrison, in North Yorkshire.

Evidence submitted to the House of Commons by Surrey Police earlier this year revealed that there were more victims of abuse at Catterick than at Deepcut.

There was also evidence of battery and bullying at the Army Foundation College, in Harrogate.

The defence committee is due to report on the matter next spring.

Last month, Army instructor Leslie Skinner, 46, was sentenced to four-and-half years for sex attacks on young male soldiers at Deepcut Barracks, and earlier, at Arnhem Barracks, in Aldershot.

An MoD spokesman said: "We have asked Surrey Police to give us the names, as well as the consent, of the individuals who made the allegations to enable the Royal Military Police to launch an investigation."
