ADE CLEWLOW

Ade Clewlow MBE spent 25 years in the British Military, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2012. During his career he served across the world, from Belize to Baghdad, and many places in between.

His first book, ‘Under A Feathered Sky’, a narrative non fiction account of a six month tour to Kosovo in 2008/09, while seconded to NATO but embedded with the Kosovo Protection Corps (later the Kosovo Security Force), was published in 2020.
