Wife’s plea to find missing Harrogate army college volunteer

A wife has issued a plea for help finding a missing volunteer at Harrogate’s Army Foundation College.

Mark Nieuwoudt, who has now been missing for three days, lives with his wife Sal in one of the college’s married quarters.

He works for Sandes, a Christian charity that provides friendship to military personnel and runs a cafe at the site on Penny Pot Lane.

Lt Col Simon Farebrother, commanding officer at the college, issued an appeal for help finding Mr Nieuwoudt last night.
