AN army corporal is developing a career in film while serving with a regiment which recruits in the north-East.

Stew Greenan, 25, joined the Green Howards after leaving St Patrick's School, Thornaby.

After basic training, he qualified as a physical training instructor, but has also just finished advanced training as a video and TV cameraman.

His first assignment was filming his own regiment in North Yorkshire and Teesside for a CD Rom designed to illustrate life in the Green Howards.

His skills have now taken him back to Warminster, Wiltshire, where he has been tasked with capturing Army vehicles in action.

Cpl Greenan also plans to become an interpreter for the Army and is to begin a course in east European languages.

He is also due to join a caving expedition to Spain and a hockey tour of Australia later this year.
