Among them was former Army Sergeant Major, Paul Carney. The 45-year-old (below) who now works for housing provider Pinnacle, said he would wear his OBE “with pride”. A lifelong sapper, he served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo after enlisting as a teenager in 1997.
“His service to the British Army and to his country has been outstanding,” the citation said.
Outside of awards for military service, Capt Jay Singh-Sohal (Int Corps), who helped institute a memorial to Sikh troops of the world wars at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, received the OBE for voluntary work. The 42-year-old reservist said: “My hope is that young people from diverse socio-economic backgrounds like mine are inspired by those who serve.”
