One More Mission: Why Lt Col Simon Barry Refused to Stand Aside

After a lifetime of service, Lt Col Simon Barry explains why he believes the covenant between the state and those it sends into danger must be defended. A conversation about duty, trust and loyalty.

In this latest One More Mission conversation, Simon Barry reflects on his experiences serving in Northern Ireland, the bonds forged through service, and why many veterans feel compelled to speak out decades later.

From South Armagh in the 1970s to today’s legacy debate, he discusses duty, trust, comradeship and the responsibility that continues long after leaving uniform.

“I didn’t think I’d be refighting things that we did 50 years ago.”

For Simon, this is one more mission: ensuring that those who served are heard and that the principles they believed they were defending are not forgotten.
