Soldier of Conscience (Hardback)

Mesmerising as I was totally enthralled reading this somwwll.written autobiographical journey that at times I was almost moved to tears.
In a world full of politics and regulation how easy is it to only think of oneself as opposed to demonstrating real humanity!
Reading 'Soldier of Conscience' written by Wayne Ingram not only describing his life as a soldier, ambulance paramedic, fireman, medic, but also his ongoing philanthropic activities is an inspiring story. It is so humbling to recognise the limited effort we as individuals have contributed when compared to those helping our fellow planet occupants really in need.
I can absolutely and totally recommend this book to anyone and everyone as a must read (at the very least) to put the world we live in, into perspective.
It is well written, factual and complimented with personal emotion that cannot help to realise our reliance on the very few who have the courage to value others more than just ourselves.
There are few books that have moved me so deeply.
Highly recommended especially for those old enough to recall many of these tragic events in recent history.

Powerful, Honest, and Deeply Moving

Soldier of Conscience is a memoir that pulls no punches. Wayne Ingram MBE tells his story with unflinching honesty, capturing the realities of life as a British soldier and, more importantly, what follows when the battlefield is left behind — but the war rages on inside.

His writing offers a raw and deeply human portrayal of PTSD, moral injury, and the struggle to make sense of life after conflict. This is not just a story of war; it’s about rebuilding, reconnecting, and rediscovering what it means to live with purpose.

A Voice That Speaks to Veterans – and Everyone Else

What makes this book so effective is Wayne’s tone — grounded, direct, and without ego. His reflections are at times painful, often thought-provoking, but always real. Whether you’ve served, know someone who has, or simply want to better understand the human cost of service, this book delivers.

Wayne does not romanticise war, nor does he dwell in pity. Instead, he speaks frankly about trauma, identity, and the long, complicated process of healing. His willingness to be vulnerable gives the book its heart and makes it deeply relatable — not only for those in the military, but for anyone facing internal battles.

A Life of Service – In and Out of Uniform

The most powerful element of Soldier of Conscience is how it shows service beyond the military. Wayne’s work as a paramedic, firefighter, and remote medic reflects a life committed to helping others. His bond with a young boy named Stefan — who survived major surgery after being born with severe facial deformities — adds an emotional depth that stays with you long after reading.

Through charity work, awareness campaigns, and endurance challenges, Wayne has taken his pain and channelled it into something far greater than himself. His story is one of resilience, transformation, and the power of human connection.

Final Thoughts

Soldier of Conscience is not just a military memoir. It is a tribute to courage — not just on the battlefield, but in facing one’s own reflection. Wayne Ingram MBE has written something truly meaningful.

It will stay with you, challenge you, and perhaps most importantly, inspire you to see the world — and those around you — a little more compassionately.

Preordered and received a couple of days ago. I cannot put the book down. It is so real and honest. From the very start when Wayne was a child and through the years, I found it absolutely absorbing, losing track of time reading it. His experience in the military and through. It is powerful, refreshing and intense and at times emotional.
