In this powerful episode of The Muster Point Podcast: Beyond the Wire, host Stu Mendelson sits down with Claire Lilly – veteran advocate, equestrian specialist with the Household Cavalry, and founder of the Forcer Protocol, a policing strategy now saving veteran lives across the UK.

From the parade grounds of Knightsbridge to the painful realities of PTSD, addiction, and suicide, Claire shares her deeply personal journey alongside her late husband Alan, a Coldstream Guard. Together, they faced the hidden battles too many veterans endure – trauma, dishonourable discharge, prison, and loss.

Out of tragedy came purpose: the Forcer Protocol, now embedded in police forces nationwide, ensuring missing veterans get trauma-informed responses and vital support.

Expect raw honesty, hard truths, and a glimmer of hope – proving that even in the darkest hours, change is possible.
