Today’s ‘This is Derbyshire’ & the ‘Derby Telegraph’ feature an article on Major Ben Ingham. Senior reporter, Martin Naylor saw the orginal articles on PARWICH.ORG and followed up a report for the newspaper.

In his online dispatches to http://www.parwich.org, he tells how he is working at NATO headquarters in the capital Kabul.
The exact nature of the 37-year-old’s role is secret but his reports offer a fascinating insight into a soldier’s life in Afghanistan.

Well we finally managed to meet up today as Ben was passing through the camp where I’m based in sunny Helmand. It’s good to know that despite reaching the dizzy heights of Major, Ben’s not afraid to get the kettle on…But maybe that was because his boss was there. Joking aside it’s always good to see a friendly face and hopefully it won’t be the last time he passes through. The first round in the Syc’s on me!
