Aged just fifteen, Ben attended the Army's selection weekend for potential officers and subsequently embarked on six gruelling years of training and assessment to fulfil my childhood dream.After graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, Ben completed two tours of duty in Iraq as a Captain in the British Army. It was during hia first tour in 2003, at just 23 years old, that he had to ask the unthinkable of two young soldiers. This experience and reflecting on what made them do as he asked caused the passion that he has for leadership to burn even stronger.
