Col Paul Denny assumed the appointment as Suffolk ACF Commandant in 2003 after a long career in the Regular Army.
Following Boy Service he joined the Royal Norfolk Regt from the Depot at Britannia Barracks in 1958 and subsequently re-badged, on amalgamation, to The East Anglian then The Royal Anglian Regiments. He also served in the Parachute Regt.
The paths of this webmaster and Col Paul first crossed in the 1980s when he ran the Army Training Team in Norfolk.
Almost 20 years later, in 2003, this webmaster asked Col Paul if he could join Suffolk ACF.
After an informal interview, the proposal was accepted.

Right, Col Paul at Thetford Weekend Training Centre, Jan 2004.

Col Paul is an avid, but very select, collector of militaria and his knowledge of military, and, in particular, The Suffolk Regt is profound.
After retiring from The Regular Army he became Suffolk ACF CEO (County Executive Officer) in 1990 then Deputy Commandant in 1999.
Along the way, apart from regularly jumping out of perfectly sound aeroplanes into his 60s, he was appointed, in 1990, by St James' Palace as a Yeoman of the Queens Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard (not to be confused with Yeomen Warders, commonly known as 'Beefeaters'  who feed the ravens).

Colonel, may your tenure of office be enjoyable, the challenges surmountable and the memories memorable.

PS Colonel, what was that tale I heard about your shoes .. errr ... or lack of .. in the 1950s ?
