A 19-year-old member of the Queen’s Guard whose identity has not been revealed for security reasons, dropped his ceremonial duties as a Coldstream Guardsman and signed up for Ukraine’s International Legion of foreign volunteer fighters
==================================
Commander Mamuka Mamulashvili, of the Georgian National League, which accepts foreign fighters, and is expecting around 150 British volunteers, said:'If those four guys come anywhere near my Legion they will be sent home. I will personally buy them their plane tickets.
'We check everyone who comes and signs on with us and they are all either volunteers who will be trained or retired members of the military - we do not take deserters or people who have gone absent without leave.
'If one of those four guys joined me it would create a political storm and I don't want that. I do everything by the rules, anyone who joins me is not paid we are not mercenaries.'
==================================
Commander Mamulashvili revealed how he had already sent one serving British army solider back to the UK.
He said:'A couple of days before the Russians invaded a British guy turned up saying he wanted to fight, he was interviewed and it quickly came out that he was still serving and he had left his unit without permission to come out here.
'He had arrived in Kyiv saying he wanted to join the Georgian National League but as soon as we found out he had deserted his unit I sent him back to Britain. We don't want any trouble.'
Dozens of volunteers and ex-servicemen from Britain are thought to have headed to Ukraine and earlier this week MailOnline spoke exclusively to two - James and Thomas - who had flown out to join the Georgian National Legion.
Thomas, 26, from London, had served in the army for four years while James, 22, from Manchester, had no previous experience but said he was receiving 'excellent training' from UK and US instructors.
