A disgraced British soldier who was filmed giving Nazi salutes and wearing swastikas has been revealed to be a man from Dublin.

Graham Bolger was disciplined by the British army after a video of him giving Nazi salutes and wearing swastikas was brought to the attention of superiors.

Bolger hit the headlines last month when his extremely lenient punishment was brought to the attention of higher-ups in the British Army.

Despite the aforementioned videos, and messages sent by Bolger to a woman on Whatsapp which bragged about killing Muslim children, Bolger was only given 12 months community service, and was allowed stand parade for Prince William and the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge on St Patrick's Day this year.

In one particularly vulgar text message sent by Bolger he said "'If I was to kill all Muslims I wouldn't leave the child, I'd kill that too!"

He also called the holocaust "great" and called Jews "money-grabbing c****".

An investigation now underway showed that Bolger was allowed to continue his service just 10 days after being sentenced in court for his actions.

Originally, Bolger was handed 24 weeks in prison, but this was then commuted to 12 months community service.

Now The Sun today revealed that Bolger is actually from Clondalkin, and serving in the 1st Battalion, Irish Guards, at Hounslow, West London.

General Nick Carter of the British Army told The Irish Sun that a full investigation was currently underway as to how Bolger was allowed to continue serving in the army, and parade for the future King of England after the scandal.
