You've Never Met Malcolm | Your Poppy Shows You Care

Malcolm trained as an Infantry Combat Soldier and served nine years in the regular Army and six years in the Territorial Army.

After leaving service, Malcolm struggled with depression and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD from his time in Northern Ireland.

"I was still very young when I went to Northern Ireland for the first time and we were in the thick of it, dealing with ambushes, potential threats to life and long days of constant patrolling," he says.

"I just think at the time I probably didn’t have the mental capacity to also process what was happening around me."

With support from RBL, Malcolm has found ways to manage the challenges of PTSD and loves riding his bike and keeping active.

You've never met Malcolm, but he willingly faced danger to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

And wearing your poppy shows veterans like Malcolm that their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten, and helps us continue our vital work.
