January 20, 2012 | By KNews | Filed Under News
In a history making move, Windee Algernon became the first female full colonel of the Guyana Defence force.
Her promotion was announced as the Annual Officers’ Conference opened.
Colonel Algernon’s elevation to her new rank is also quite significant since she is the first serving member of any of the
Caribbean’s armed forces to hold such an appointment.
She joined the army in 1980.

Donald Ramotar had approved the promotions of several other officers.
