LOVELY ladies in the Redditch area are being called up by the British Army - to go on an all-expenses paid trip of Northern Ireland.

The army wants a girl to visit military bases on a morale-boosting and publicity tour.

She will be wined and dined by the army and extensively photographed for publicity handouts.

Sgt Major John Hill, from Bromsgrove, said: "The girl has to be attractive and intelligent and free to do the tour in the middle of June.

"She will be expected to chat to the soldiers and be photographed with them and generally boost their morale."
