A soldier will face a court martial over the fake Daily Mirror photographs which appeared to show British troops abusing an Iraqi, the Ministry of Defence said today.
Stuart MacKenzie, 25, was charged over the hoax, which damaged the Army and led to the departure of Mirror editor Piers Morgan.
A spokesman for the MoD said: "A trial is due to start on Monday at the court martial centre in Catterick, North Yorkshire."
The photographs made worldwide headlines in May after purportedly showing British soldiers from the Queen's Lancashire Regiment (QLR) abusing hooded Iraqi detainees.
One picture showed a soldier apparently urinating on a victim as he cowered on the floor.
