When The Chief died, it was agreed that the brigade would be led by a Commanding Officer who would serve for a term of one year.
There have since been 38 COs, of varying ability and success, yet they are all honoured here. In an attempt to forget the entirity of 2020, Colin Issit was made CO again in 2021 – making him the only CO to serve for more than one year.
The Commanding Officer
The present CO is Simon Clubb.
