Congratulations to our Clerk, Debs Taylor, who has been promoted to the rank of Colonel. She will be taking on the role of Deputy Director Army Command and Staff course at the Defence Academy of the UK Shrivenham. The title of Deputy links to the fact that this a post in the Reserve.
Colonel is the first rank of General Staff where one leaves Regimental duty and becomes a Staff Officer. So Debs will become 'Late RLC', and will change her uniform. Members of General Staff have a red tab on their collars and are often referred to colloquially as 'Red Tabs'.
We look forward to being able to post a new photo of Debs in her Red Tabs.
