Guyana-born Warrant Officer II of the Light Infantry Battalion, Glenrory Low, 46, joined the British Army in 2000 because he was looking for a challenging career, two decades later he least expected to be one of three warrant officers in the army called to serve at the coronation of King Charles III in May last year.
“I was in Northern Ireland on duty with my unit when I got an email in early 2023 informing me I was selected as one of three warrant officers to be part of the coronation activities. That was unexpected. Of course I was delighted. The army has eight battalions – three reserves and five regulars. Out of the whole regiment, they wanted three warrant officers and I was one of those selected as The Rifles of the Queen,” Low told Stabroek Weekend during an interview in Georgetown where he is now on vacation. Another three were requested from the Guard Units of the King.
