Johnson Beharry

Lance Sergeant Johnson Beharry is a highly decorated British soldier who rose to prominence for his extraordinary acts of bravery during his service in Iraq.

In 2005, he was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest military honour in the United Kingdom. Lance Sergeant Johnson Beharry became the first living recipient of the medal since 1969 and the first for the British Army since 1982.

Johnson received the award for two individual acts of heroism: saving the lives of his platoon from ambushes on 1 May 2004 and again on 11 June 2004 in Al-Amarah, Iraq.

His remarkable courage, selflessness, and resilience have made him an iconic figure in modern military history.

An accomplished public speaker, Johnson shares the importance of resilience, courage, and service to others. His story resonates far beyond the military, inspiring people from all walks of life with his message of courage, perseverance, and the importance of helping others, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Johnson’s commitment to public service did not end with his military career. He continues to advocate for veterans and champion mental health awareness.
