Her husband found her by the roadside, delirious and choking on her own vomit.

​

Gemma Morgan was happily married with two young children, an outstanding Army service record and a first class international sporting career. But underneath, she was barely surviving - numbed by vodka, Valium and sleeping pills.

​

Gemma embraced the discipline, purpose, and pride of military service. But inside barracks, she fought a different war - against daily misogyny and sexual abuse. Then came Kosovo, where she deployed unarmed and unsupported to the trauma of a war zone.

​

These experiences collided into a devastating mental health crisis. Gemma became suicidal, was diagnosed with PTSD, and abandoned by the very institution she had served with loyalty for seven years.

​

With the support of her family, Gemma has been on a long and difficult road to recovery. Pink Camouflage is her story in her own words.

 

More than a memoir, it’s a voice for those still silenced - and a call for change.
