Colonel of the Regiment

The Colonel of the Regiment is a ceremonial and symbolic leadership position within certain military units, often in the British Army and other Commonwealth forces. This title is typically held by a senior officer or distinguished figure who provides support and represents the regiment at formal events. While not necessarily involved in day-to-day operations, the Colonel helps foster tradition, morale, and community within the regiment and maintains connections with its history and legacy. The role underscores respect and pride in the unit, celebrating its achievements and honoring its members, past and present.
