Overwhelmed on two counts. Firstly to be recognised in the Kings New Year’s honours, and secondly to be featured in an article by the @TheRFL, 12 year old Dave would never believe it!

From 2021-2024 I was privileged to lead an exceptional group of people during a challenging period of history! I was supported by my amazing wife (Sally) and family. I’m humbled to get to receive an OBE on behalf of my family and @7RegtRLC.

An epoch defining event - UGV and UAV combined assault, amazing! A step change in the ‘character of war’ it comes with significant considerations for supporting elements. Log, ES, Comms, and the inevitable change in counter UGV/UAV. https://t.co/tvKWafFdRs

Hi Alfie I know this one would be an unusual one but I would be Honoured if you could put up the following regimental colours of 7 Regiment RLC who bare Polish colours unknown to many soldiers in our army Poles served in the RCT until the 1980’s up till that point they could not return to Poland as they would have been shot and executed by the soviets. I have spent the last few years of my career trying to promote the existence of the regiment to the Polish community and have visited parliament on 2 occasions. My wife who is Polish has a grandfather who survived the holocaust.

A great article by @WarintheFuture if we, the @BritishArmy want to triple our fighting power, ingenious indigenous solutions is the only affordable way we can achieve it.

Over the past couple of years, #Ukraine has developed a world-class long range strike system, comprised of air, land and maritime strike capabilities. In my new piece for @LowyInstitute, I explore what Australia can learn from this evolving Ukrainian strike capability. https://t.co/CUl0670fVl

@Steve_Parker_88 @UKArmyLogistics Glad LCpl N was fantastic, but what is that moustache 🥸

[Dave Groce OBE @TheGroces]

To do something like this takes an inner strength most of us are incapable of summoning. His legacy is far broader than our greatest game, his impact on the MND community and wider society is testament to this strength.
