Colonel (Sri Lanka)

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 Sri Lanka Army. The ceremonial position is often conferred on retired general officers, brigadiers or colonels who have a close link to a particular regiment. 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.[1] A Colonel of the Regiment is expected to work closely with a regiment and its Regimental Association.

Insignia

The rank insignia for a colonel is a Sri Lanka emblem over two "pips".

gollark: So, just an esolang with weird IO...?
gollark: Not that I know of.
gollark: Okay, I switched to a *third* directory view implementation.
