Wayne Ingram joined the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment in 1986 at the age of 17 where he was immediately sent to Germany as part of the British Army on Rhine (BAOR) during the Cold War against the Warsaw Pact. It was whilst stationed in Germany he passed and qualified as a Commando in the French Army and found his love of reconnaissance duties. In 1992 this niche in soldiering led him to transfer to the 9th/12th Royal Lancers, a designated reconnaissance regiment. He has served numerous operational tours in war zones including Northern Ireland and Bosnia Herzegovina as a soldier and Iraq and Africa as a private security operator Paramedic.A chance meeting with a 4 year old Bosnian boy in 2003 redirected a life of war and fighting to one of fundraising, eventually seeing him receiving the Member of the Order of The British Empire (MBE) in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2021. He now works full time as a remote offshore Specialist Paramedic.
