To mark the Month of the Military Child in 2026, we explored the experiences of children and young people growing up as part of the Army family. From life with a parent who serves, to coping with the loss of a parent in service, to those inspired to follow the Army path themselves.

In our latest vodcast episode, ‘Army Child’, you will hear from Natasha Day on the challenges of deployment with a young child, Alix Hale, whose father died while she was in primary school, and Dean Stott, who was so inspired by his soldier father that he went on to build an outstanding Army career.
