Matt served 20 years as an officer, 16 years with the Devonshire and Dorest Regiment and his final 4 with the Rifles.

Matt served overseas in Northern Ireland, 3 times, in which his first tour was before the cease fire and the first time he experienced combat. He then later served in Sierra Leone and then two tours of Iraq, in which his 2nd tour he was OC of A Coy D&D's. He also served in Afghanistan.

Whilst an OC in Iraq, Matt talks about the mental health challenges he faced and the situations he had to deal with as the Officer Commanding.

We also talk about how he felt when the D&D's were disbanded and amalgamated into the Rifles, in which I am sure it is a common feeling when units are disbanded.
