Background

His military history has it that he is an officer of the Household Cavalry and a veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

Born in Ghana in 1979, he moved to the UK with his parents in 1982 when he was three years old.

Twumasi-Ankrah enrolled at Queen Mary University, London upon completion of his school education and then joined the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Speaking on film for a documentary on Britain’s open and democratic society, Major Twumasi-Ankrah said: “As a young child, watching her majesty the Queen’s birthday parade on television, I would have never imagined that one day I’d command the regiment which I’d fallen in love with.”

He added: “From where I sit and from what I’ve seen in the UK, our cultures really do mix and intermingle, and if I’m not a good example of that I really don’t know what is.”
