In Basra, 2007, Corporal Jon “Frenchie” Le Galloudec was shot in the back during a fierce firefight, left pinned down under enemy fire, and rescued against impossible odds. That moment should have ended his story — but it was only the beginning.

After the Bullet takes you from the brutal reality of the battlefield to the even tougher war fought afterwards — the long road of surgeries, rehabilitation, PTSD, and finding purpose again when the uniform comes off. With brutal honesty and flashes of dark humour, Jon shares the bonds of brotherhood that kept him alive, the friends he lost, and the battles he never expected to fight back home.

This is more than a soldier’s memoir. It’s a raw, unflinching testament to survival, resilience, and rebuilding a life when everything you were trained for is suddenly behind you.
