‘Corporal Edwards joined the Army in December 1989 and was sent to the Prince of Wales’s Division Depot at Litchfield to complete his basic training. The course was physically and mentally demanding, with robustness, team spirit and character required throughout.
Corporal Edwards joined the 1st Battalion The Cheshire Regiment in November 1990 and quickly settled in to life in the Field Army. He completed exercises in Belize, The United States, Canada and Poland along with numerous exercises in Germany and United Kingdom.
Corporal Edwards has a wealth of operational experience which has included service in Northern Ireland (3 times), the Balkans (both Bosnia (twice) and Kosovo (once)) and more latterly Iraq (3 times).’
