Participants ranged in age from 26 to 92 years ( M = 53.33), and across multiple war cohorts (from WWII to Iraq and Afghanistan). Semi-structured interviews explored experiences of 30 participants (27 male, 3 female). This study aimed to present UK veterans' first-hand experiences related to military service, access to and use of mental healthcare and interventions, and the impact of transition on the military family. Research in the United Kingdom (UK) tends to focus on depression or alcohol misuse and the impact these issues have on currently serving personnel. Much of the literature on the mental and physical health battles faced by men and women who leave the Armed Forces is dominated by research in the United States (US) ( 1), and is particularly focused on exposure to deployment, combat conditions, and effects on mental health. Military personnel who have seen active service can be affected by their experiences.
