Where is the news about the Duke of York being the Colonel-in-Chief listed? Will the Colonels-in-Chief of the three individual regiments still be involved? Hammersfan 4/3/06, 09.30 GMT

According to Regiments.org each battalion has a Deputy Colonel but not a Deputy Colonel-in-Chief. Interestingly the Army page names The Duke of Wellington as a single Deputy Colonel-in-Chief. 194.203.110.127 10:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Update

A short paragraph about HRH Prince Andrew's appointment is on the page, see the second to last paragraph, he is also shown in the info box. I can confirm that HRH The Queen had appointed His Grace The Duke of Wellington to be the Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of the Yorkshire Regiment. His Grace was The only antecedant Regimental Colonel-in-Chief who expressed an interest to continue an association with the new Regiment. It should be noted that other Col-in-Chiefs:- King Harald V (Green Howards), and the Katharine, Duchess of Kent (Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire), have ceased to have any official connection with the antecedant battalions after the merger on the 6th of June.
