“Those that were charged with designing the new Russian tanks, making sure that the stocks in storage were maintained…were using their own Maskirovka as they pocket the money.”

Col Philip Ingram held a pistol to his head and slowly squeezed the trigger after flashbacks from the hell of Iraq took its cruel toll on him (Editorial from the Sunday Mirror)

Haunted by flashbacks, Col Philip Ingram held a pistol to his head and slowly squeezed the trigger.

Haunted by flashbacks, Col Philip Ingram held a pistol to his head and slowly squeezed the trigger. Ingram, the Army’s highest ranking officer to suffer from PTSD, had hit the wall as the pressure cooker hell of Iraq extracted a cruel toll.

He was “micro seconds” from ending it once and for all.

But then an image of his father entered his head. And he thought about the mess, literally the bloody mess, his suicide would create – and the demoralising effect it would have on his men. Carefully, he released the trigger.

Father-of-two Ingram, 53, reveals the traumatic incident today in his first newspaper interview – in which he also tells how he used to keep a “suicide kit” of sleeping pills within arm’s reach.

He speaks out to support the Sunday People’s campaign for proper support for soldiers and veterans suffering post traumatic stress disorder.

Ingram – who reached the rank of Colonel and was awarded the MBE – has been contacted by former colleagues forced to suffer in silence amid fears they will lose their careers if they admit to having mental health issues.

The ex-Intelligence Corps officer criticises the Ministry of Defence for “appalling treatment” of colleagues suffering with their mental health.

Recalling his own crisis in 2005, he said: “One evening I sat in my chair in my office with the intention of cleaning my pistol. But instead I loaded it, pressed the gun to the side of my head and slowly squeezed the trigger.

“I felt a sense of calm. I no longer felt exhausted and I was convinced I was doing the right thing.

“Then an image of my father entered my head and I stopped. I looked at the wall behind me and thought this is going to make a real mess and I don’t want my soldiers dealing with that.

“I came close to killing myself many more times on that tour but I never quite had the will to pull the trigger.”

He had developed stress-induced depression following the collapse of his marriage and the demands of being the Army’s senior intelligence officer in Iraq.

Ingram, who lives in Birmingham, was consumed with guilt over the death of men under his command.

Porton Down is a science and defence technology campus in Wiltshire, England, just north-east of the village of Porton, near Salisbury. It is home to two British government facilities: a site of the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory – known for over 100 years as one of the UK’s most secretive and controversial military research facilities, occupying 7,000 acres – and a site of the UK Health Security Agency.

A half-truth is a deceptive statement that includes some element of truth. The statement might be partly true, the statement may be totally true, but only part of the whole truth, or it may use some deceptive element, such as improper punctuation, or double meaning, especially if the intent is to deceive, evade, blame or misrepresent the truth.
