Gulf War veteran found dead below White Cliffs of Dover had sued Army for racism
Scott Enion, 45, requested £100,000 compensation for bullying that 'drove him to brink of suicide'
A GULF War veteran discovered dead below the White Cliffs of Dover had sued the Army for racism, it emerged today.
The body of ex-Royal Fusilier Scott Enion, 45, was one of three found at the spot on New Year’s Day.
He had demanded £100,000 compensation for bullying he said he suffered during seven years in the Army.
The former soldier alleged it drove him to the brink of suicide.
But his case was thrown out.
He said at the time: “I wouldn’t recommend the Army to any young black person."
An ex-comrade said: “Scott was a great soldier, a great man and a great friend.
“He suffered a lot as a result of his time in the Army but his abuse claims were never dealt with successfully.
“We are gutted to lose someone like him.”
Troubled Scott also feared he had Gulf War syndrome.
