THE father of a British soldier who died on one of the hottest days of 2016 fears that the army has not learnt from his son’s death.
Corporal Joshua Hoole, 26, collapsed during a fitness test at the Infantry Battle School in the Brecon Beacons on July 19 that year.
His father Phillip believes there were “organisational failings” by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and said it was “imperative” for them to be addressed urgently.
