A SOLDIER who has been deployed to a Worcester hospital marked his 18th birthday on his first day in the job. Private Brandon Dean, from Hartlepool, is one of twelve soldiers belonging to the 1st Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment who have been deployed to carry out general duties at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, Worcester and Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, both part of Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. The Armed Forces cannot deploy personnel in public-facing roles until they are aged 18 so this was Brandon’s first operational task for the Army. Private Dean was presented with a birthday cake and card from fellow soldiers during a break from duties last Friday (29 Jan) on the ward at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
