As befitted a regiment which bore the Prince of Wales's title, Edward VIII (as he subsequently became) was appointed Colonel in Chief of the Leinster Regiment shortly before their disbandment in 1922.

The Gerald Boyd whose signature appears below that of the Prince was Major General Sir Gerald Farrell Boyd KCB,CMG,DSO,DCM, who served with the Leinsters from 1904 until 1915 and later became their Honorary Colonel.
