Colonel (United Kingdom)
right
Colonel (Col) is a rank of the British Army and Royal Marines, ranking below brigadier, and above lieutenant colonel. British colonels are not usually field commanders; typically they serve as staff officers between field commands at battalion and brigade level. The insignia is two diamond-shaped pips (properly called "Bath Stars") below a crown. The crown has varied in the past with different monarchs; the current Queen's reign has used St Edward's Crown. The rank is equivalent to captain in the Royal Navy and group captain in the Royal Air Force.
==Etymology==
The rank of colonel was popularized by the tercios that were employed in the Spanish Army during the 16th and 17th centuries. General Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba divided his troops in to ''coronelías'' (meaning "column of soldiers" from the Latin, ''columnella'' or "small column")〔O.E.D.〕). These units were led by a ''coronel''.〔(Los tercios españoles. La batalla de Pavía ) at militar.org.ua (in Spanish, unspecified authorship)〕 This command structure and its titles were soon adopted as ''colonello'' in early modern Italian and in Middle French as ''coronel''.
The modern English pronunciation of the word is derived from the French variant.〔(How Did "Colonel" Become "Ker-nul"? )〕
