Just 375 of the 7,000 practices have staff trained to deal with veterans issues such as combat related post -traumatic stress disorder.

THE stepbrothe­r of Harry Dunn leads a protest yesterday near the spot where the teenager was killed, allegedly by a US spy’s wife.

Grieving Kieran Charles was joined by more than 100 friends and supporters of Harry, 19.

They demanded Anne Sacoolas, 42 – who fled to the US, claiming diplomatic immunity, after the youngster was knocked off his motorbike – returns to face justice.

She was charged last month with causing Harry’s death by dangerous driving on August 27. Kieran, 31, said outside RAF Croughton, Northants, where Sacoolas was stationed: “We won’t stop till she’s back.”

He urged US President Donald Trump to extradite her to Britain.

Harry’s parents Charlotte and Tim were too “psychologi­cally drained” to attend the Justice 4 Harry demo, added Kieran.

Sacoolas allegedly collided with Harry’s motorbike as she drove on the wrong side of the road after leaving the base near his home in Brackley. If convicted she could face a maximum 14-year jail sentence.

Extraditio­n proceeding­s via the Home Office have officially begun.
