AN Iraq war veteran who has started a not-for-profit boxing club in Nairn is appealing for photographs from former boxers to inspire the next generation of youngsters coming through the ranks.
Former Scots Guardsman Kevin Brooks was just 19 when he served in Iraq as an infantryman.
He launched a club in Nairn in 2016 and after building up an array of gym equipment through local donations and the support of his regiment last year, they moved into the former Public Hall or Ballerina Ballroom, where many music greats including the Beatles performed in the 1960s.
