Communications Officer
We are absolutely delighted to announce that the Vice Chief of the Defence Staff, General Dame Sharon Nesmith DCB ADC, has been appointed as the Corps’ new Honorary Colonel. She is pictured below (observing a training evening at HQ and with the late Barbara Bunce at VE80 last year).
We are hugely grateful to Lieutenant General Sir Tom Copinger-Symes KCB CBE for 8 years of loyal service to the Corps. (He is pictured below with Corps members at Exercise Defence Cyber Marvel in Estonia). We will say a formal farewell to him at the Recruits Passing Out Parade on 3rd June.
As our first female Honorary Colonel and the highest-ranking woman in the British Military, we’re honoured and excited to welcome General Sharon to the FANY. She assumes the post as General Tom leaves the army.
