A huge congratulations to Staff Sergeant (SSgt) P Dagnall on his selection to become an instructor at Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where he will help shape and develop the next generation of British Army Officers.
This is a seriously significant appointment. Sandhurst is where the Army’s future leaders are developed and prepared for command. To be selected as an instructor there is a clear reflection of professionalism, operational experience and the standards he has upheld throughout his career. It’s not only recognition of what he has achieved so far, but also of the impact he is now expected to have on the Army’s future leaders.
Over 15 years of service, Staff Sergeant Dagnall has deployed operationally to Africa, the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Levant and most notably supported the evacuation of Kabul in 2021. Since joining the Army on 27 March 2011, he initially served at 30th Signal Regiment within OLRTs before spending a large portion of his career at 216 (para) sig Sqn where he was employed as Brigade Tac for a significant period of time.
Every Officer Cadet he works with will benefit from his operational experience and leadership. His influence will carry forward across the Army for years to come.
Speaking about the appointment, he said:
“It’s a job that should be really rewarding. As the first exposure Officer Cadets get to soldiers, I hope to leave a lasting impression on them before they start their journeys as Officers. I look forward to adding value to their time at the Academy and cannot wait to get started.”
