Jun 11 - Ernest Britto Becomes RG's Newest Honourary Colonel
Colonel Ernest Michael Britto OBE ED KMCO is the new Honorary Colonel of The Royal Gibraltar Regiment in succession to Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Dennis Duarte OBE.
The Honorary Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Britto, who is probably better known for his recent political career, reluctantly joined the Regiment as a conscript in 1965, he said,‘I hated the thought of being conscripted, I hated the thought of the Army. I went to Buena Vista Barracks as it used to be then, and was determined to do as little as possible and to be as awkward as possible and to generally make a nuisance of myself for the next four to six months.
This afternoon Morrisons Gibraltar presented the St. Bernard’s Hospital Rainbow Ward with a cheque for £5,000. Health Minister Dr. John thanked Store Manager Gary Chant and staff members Kaisa Pitt and Maria Tibbs for the kind donation, which was built through the sale of carrier bags.
