Editing Colonel (section)

===Colonel of the Regiment===
The title '''Colonel of the Regiment''' (to distinguish it from the military rank of colonel) continues to be used in the modern British Army. The ceremonial position is often conferred on retired [[general officer]]s, [[brigadier]]s or colonels who have a close link to a particular regiment. Non-military personnel, usually for positions within the [[Army Reserve(United Kingdom)|Army Reserve]] may also be appointed to the ceremonial position. When attending functions as "Colonel of the Regiment", the titleholder wears the regimental uniform with rank insignia of (full) colonel, regardless of their official rank. A member of the [[Royal Family]] is known as a [[Royal Colonel]]. A Colonel of the Regiment is expected to work closely with a regiment and its [[Regimental Association]].{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}
