In May 1982, 2 PARA fought two of the most intense infantry battles of the conflict: the assault on Darwin and Goose Green, where Lieutenant Colonel H. Jones was killed leading his men forward and was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross; and the battle of Wireless Ridge, fought in the final hours before the Argentine surrender. It was a campaign that defined a generation of Paras and cemented 2 PARA's place in British military history. Since then the battalion has served in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, maintaining the standard that Goose Green set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2 PARA regimental tie carries the maroon and the Pegasus with the weight of that history behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: approx. 3.5″ (9cm) at widest point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 56″ (142cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Polyester, fully lined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Dry clean only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMOD Licensed\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an official MOD Licence holder, every badge and insignia on this tie is used under strict licence terms. \u003cstrong\u003e8% of every sale is donated annually to the MOD, distributed to military welfare charities.\u003c\/strong\u003e Buying this tie honours 2 PARA and everyone who has earned the maroon beret.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139267338618,"sku":"sku-58681155092805","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/2PARA.jpg?v=1785782426","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/2-para-parachute-regiment-regimental-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
