War Story 025: Ted Shirley, 1 Royal Welsh (Sniper, Afghanistan)

TED SHIRLEY is an author and former British Army sniper. He served two tours in Afghanistan, where he achieved remarkable feats, including shots from over a mile away. Despite these accomplishments, Ted faced a challenging battle with post-traumatic stress disorder upon his return home. The juxtaposition of life on the battlefield as a soldier to a small-town civilian brought new challenges as Ted watched many of his brothers taken by PTSD. Determined to heal and retake control of his life, Ted embarked on a global journey. He explored alternative healing methods and therapies, integrating these approaches with his military experiences and clinical therapies to aid in his recovery.
