Colonel Ruth takes pride in new role for regiment
RUTH Davidson yesterday spoke of her joy after being appointed honorary colonel of her former Army regiment.
The Scottish Tory leader has been invited to take over the position with 32 Signal Regiment for the next five years.
The Army reserve regiment commands squadrons in Edinburgh, East Kilbride, Belfast, Darlington and Glasgow, where Miss Davidson served.
As honorary colonel, Miss Davidson will be asked to act as a figurehead for the regiment, and as a counsellor and supporter for its commanding officer and leadership teams.
She said: ‘I loved my time in uniform and am so grateful for everything it taught me.’
