Colour Sargeant Barry John
Homecoming to Pembrokeshire
Homecoming for all soldiers is a highly significant date, but for artist and Colour Sargeant Barry John of the 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh Regiment it's the feeling and title he's given to a major exhibition in his home county of Pembrokeshire to be held at the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven Docks. In April he relocates to Swansea as Army Recruiting Team 2IC.
Barry John who was awarded the MBE in 2010 for his work in Army recruitment was born in Neyland, Pembrokeshire in 1974 and joined the British Army aged only 16.
His subsequent military career involved him in extensive travel to Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Jamaica, Cyprus, Kosovo, Northern Ireland and Germany and these travels and his experiences formed the basis of his initial inspiration.
