Race row | Rastafarian soldier refused entry to barracks by guard who didn't believe he was in the Army

A Rastafarian soldier in the British Army has beaten the Ministry of Defence at an employment tribunal after guards at his barracks refused to believe he was a soldier himself.

Dwight Pile-Grey was one of the first Rastafarian guardsmen in the armed forces, but his career came to an end after a row at a guardroom, in which a white guard didn't believe he was a fellow serviceman.

He was then accused of "playing the race card" when he challenged the soldier on his wrong assumption.

Mr Pile-Grey took the case to the employment tribunal appeal system, citing claims of racial discrimination and harassment, and has emerged victorious.
