Joe Clapson

After spending a long while reporting on hard news for the national press Joe spent nearly ten years following British troops around the world writing about things ranging from battlefield action, struggles with mental illness and fearless adventure to kit reviews and first-person physical challenges. He now touts stories about the Army to the world’s press and runs the social media channels for London's soldiers. Joe can also be found blogging about being a modern-day Dad in an often-old-fashioned world at www.daddyshortlegs.co.uk and www.facebook.com/daddyshortlegsJC – his idea is to bring humour to the table without making parenting a Man vs Woman thing; it’s a mixture of toe-curling honesty, advice through experience, and reviews of baby stuff as well as adult items (not X-rated, just not for kids).
