It is with profound sadness that we reflect on the passing of Corporal Lucy Wilde. The news of her death has left many of us genuinely lost for words. Having only spoken with her recently, the shock of her passing feels especially close to home for so many within the community who followed, supported, and admired her.
Corporal Wilde was more than a dedicated soldier—she was an inspiring presence both within the Armed Forces and beyond. Many first came to know Lucy through her TikTok platform, where she shared her passion for fitness, discipline, and military life. Her gym content was not only motivating but also educational. She openly offered guidance and encouragement to serving soldiers and to those considering a career in the military. Her willingness to help others succeed spoke volumes about her character.
Beyond her professional commitment, Lucy shared glimpses of her personal journey—shopping trips, travel experiences, and most recently, the joy she found in welcoming her puppy, Bruno, into her life. These moments reflected her warmth, authenticity, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. She built a community rooted in positivity, resilience, and mutual support.
Lucy’s dedication to excellence extended into her role as an athlete ambassador for Combat Fuel, a brand she proudly supported for five years before recently becoming one of its athletes. This milestone was a testament to her consistency, loyalty, and the respect she earned within the fitness and military communities alike.
Professionally, Corporal Wilde served with distinction. She was attached to the Welsh Guards until Christmas before moving on to her next posting with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Yorkshire Regiment. Her service reflected commitment, strength, and a deep sense of duty to her country. She carried herself with pride and professionalism, earning admiration from colleagues and supporters alike.
We extend our deepest condolences to Lucy’s family, friends, fellow soldiers, and the wider community who are mourning this heartbreaking loss. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all who loved and knew her during this incredibly difficult time.
Corporal Lucy Wilde leaves behind a legacy of courage, inspiration, and unwavering dedication. She will be remembered not only as a soldier, but as a role model, a motivator, and a remarkable individual.
Rest easy, Lucy. You will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
