Neville is a South African who, like many others, joined the British Army. Neville joined the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in 2003. During his time he deployed to Northern Ireland, Iraq twice and finally to Sangin, Afghanistan in 2007, which left the biggests impact in his life.
We talk about how each tour was different but we also discuss that it was only years later that he realised he was changing as a person because of his tours and that led him to seek out and get help from both veterans and professional help.
Neville is also an established poet with his poems being published in several publications including
