Timeline
Philip James Conyers Ashby QGM (born 29 April 1970) is a former Royal Marines Commando officer, notable for his escape and evasion in the jungles of Sierra Leone in 2000.
Ashby was brought up in Helensburgh on the west coast of Scotland, the son of a Royal Navy officer based at HMNB Clyde, and educated at Glenalmond College on a scholarship.
While in school he started rock climbing.
Ashby joined the Royal Marines and was commissioned a week shy of his eighteenth birthday.
He read engineering at Pembroke College, Cambridge on an armed forces bursary.
Later on in his career he trained as a mountain leader and was also a jungle warfare instructor.
In May 2000, Ashby was deployed to Sierra Leone as a military observer with the UN peacekeeping forces stationed there, tasked with disarming the rebel fighters from the Revolutionary United Front led by Augustine Gbao.
However, the situation became hostile and the house where Ashby and two fellow British officers and a New Zealand officer surrounded and effectively trapped in the house.
After a narrow escape, they sought refuge at the Kenyan army outpost where they helped defend the camp against several days of attacks.
Eventually a decision was taken to escape through the jungle.
Fighting dehydration and hunger, the four men survived close encounters with the enemy and, assisted by local tribesmen, were eventually rescued by the British Army.
After returning, Ashby was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal.
The story of his escape is narrated in one episode of the documentary series Banged Up Abroad.
His escape is also documented by the War historian Mark Felton.
