RIFLES Central Region Office
CENTRAL REGION OFFICE
The expanded Central Region continued to operate with the RIFLES flag being flown not just in our historic counties of Shropshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and cities of Birmingham, Bristol and Coventry, but also across the central part of England and the whole of Wales and Northern Ireland. Veterans, both of The Rifles and of our Forming and Antecedent Regiments, have received support in places as far apart as Lisburn and Leicester, Northampton and Bristol.
Lt Col Andrew Trelawny and Mrs Heather Morgan in The Rifles Office (Central), supported by Mrs Debbie Hards in the Taunton Office, remain grateful for the support of 1 and 2 RIFLES, of A Coy 6 RIFLES in Hereford and Gloucester, of E Coy 8 RIFLES in Shrewsbury and Birmingham, of the County and City Colonels (Lt Col Nick Jenkins in Shropshire, Col Marius Coulon in Birmingham, Col Damian Griffin in Coventry, Col Andy Taylor in Herefordshire, Lt Col Tony Ayres in Gloucestershire and Lt Col Mike Motum in Bristol), the Light Infantry and Rifles Association branches in Shropshire, Herefordshire and Bristol, the RGJ Association branch in Birmingham, the RGBW Association branches in Gloucestershire and Bristol, and the Buglers Association. We very much enjoyed maintaining full contact with our regulars, reservists, cadets, veterans, and com- munities throughout 2023.
