A Nottingham man joined the army after a disturbing realisation following the notorious Salisbury poisoning. Private Alan Bulman, 30, from Bulwell, has enjoyed travel, camaraderie and a sense of adventure since joining the British Army Reserves in 2019.
Pte Bulman, who works for ACAS as a Conciliation Officer, applied to join 4 Mercian, a Reserve Battalion within the Mercian Regiment, in 2019. He explained exercises and operations at home and abroad and increased his confidence and employability.
He said: “There are a number of reasons why I took the decision to join. One of them is I took more and more notice in the media of threats to our country and I was keen to do my bit.
