Brian Wood MC visited Phase 2 soldiers at 11th Signal Regiment earlier this week and delivered a fascinating and inspiring talk about his struggles with PTSD and his epic physical challenges including the Marathon de Sables.
Brian was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in combat for courageous leadership in Iraq but was later summoned for unfound war crimes which eventually led to full vindication. His story is now the subject of a BBC2 film, Danny Boy, and he has been open about his struggles with PTSD and anxiety while also supporting Walking With The Wounded’s mental health programmes to help others.
