Nigel is the founder of the world’s largest war animal charity which ensures the deeds and sacrifices of four-legged soldiers are not forgotten via the establishment of memorials internationally. Nigel’s charity also provides veterans with therapy animals, including PTSD equine and dog programes.

Nigel is a passionate and sought-after speaker as he’s able to engage listeners with imaginative and factual stories and his own anecdotes from his years of research and practical experience in this field. His expertise is called upon by the Australian Department of Defence and government agencies such as the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, RSL Headquarters and Commonwealth Centenary Committee plus numerous universities.
He is also a published author of nine books, including an international best seller, Cry Havoc: the history of war dogs, published in three languages.

Nigel was awarded Australia’s RSL ‘ANZAC of the Year Award’ in 2017 which recognises the efforts and achievements of Australians who have given service to the community in a positive, selfless and compassionate manner. Nigel has lectured at notable institutions, universities and museums across the world, such as the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the Australian War Memorial and the National Museum of New Zealand.
Many of the stories he relays are emotional and humorous and provoke debate and questions, making him an ideal speaker and presenter at a wide variety of events.
