LONDON, 24 Nov. - (ANA) - British armed services are to leave Canada after 50 years and move their biggest training base to the Middle East. 

 

The British Army Training Unit Suffield in Alberta, western Canada, has been in operation since 1972. 

 

The thousand-square-mile base, seven times the size of Salisbury Plain, has trained thousands of soldiers. 

 

British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace is expected to announce that the military will open a training area in Oman to take its place.  - (ANA) -
