Our President, the Colonel of the Regiment, Lt Gen Doug Chalmers DSO OBE is one of the UK's most senior and experienced operational commanders. He says:
"The PWRR Association is our Association. It vital to the through life care of our family Regiment and therefore matters deeply to all of us. It is manned by a team of volunteers (who are exceptional and live the Army values every day by their deeds) supported by RHQ. I encourage all Tigers to help us ensure that we look after each other and make this the best regimental association in the land. The Association looks after everyone from forebear regimental comrades and cadets to serving Tigers and veterans. Its aim is simple: Comradeship, Communication & Care - each part of that interlinks and by doing so gives us strength. At its heart is the simple truth: once a Tiger, always a Tiger. Service has marked us all deeply and the comradeship that we experienced and enjoyed is rare in today's society. The Association keeps that uniqueness alive and provides a ready database of like-minded souls. Looking forward to meeting you at gatherings in the future." |

In 2016, the Colonel of the Regiment appointed Lt Col (retd) Chris Parker MBE to be the first Chairman of the PWRR Association as the Regiment passed 25 years of service. Chris is a volunteer and known to most Tigers. Born in Sussex, he flew RAF jets (badly) before he joined our Infantry Reserves in Portsmouth. Following Sandhurst, he did 17 years, serving with both 1&2 PWRR serving on 9 operational tours including the Iraq War 2003. A civilian businessman since 2007, he had led several international businesses. Chris is a founding Patron of Forces Diversity.
Chris says, "It has been a unique, operational, fighting era for our Regiment for 25 years. We Tigers stick together and always look after each other. I would like to thank our superb volunteer Branch teams. We need more volunteers to help their Fellow Tigers to enjoy monthly Ambushes - a very easy and fun task. Please ask what you can do to help the Tigers." Contact the PWRR Association via local Facebook Groups RHQ or via our contact page. |
