Default SOME INTERESTING FACTS

Royal Engineers are military's biggest drug offenders as 80 soldiers in the unit failing tests in one year
Soldiers from the Royal Engineers are the biggest drug offenders in the armed forces - it has been revealed.
More than 80 soldiers from the corps were said to have failed a drugs test in the course of 2017, 20 more than the Royal Logistics Corps which came second on the list with 60 shamed troops.
In third place was the Royal Regiment of Artillery, which had 50 drug offenders and fourth was the Royal Armoured Corps with 40 - according to figures released by the Sun.
Prince Harry's former regiment, the Household Cavalry involved in a drug scandal in March, had ten troopers failing drugs tests in 2017.
The Ministry of Defence has not yet released its figures for drug offences this year, but the Household Cavalry is expected to perform even worse.
Meanwhile, the five regiments of foot guards who guard the Queen outside Buckingham Palace had a total of 30 drugs tests failures.
cross all the armed forces, including the Army, Navy and RAF, 770 individuals registered positive for 830 drugs.
Although many of the failed tests were due to Class A substances, more than 30 instances involved the use of steroids.
Army recruits found to have taken banned substances are asked to leave and banned from re-joining in most cases.
