The 9th Lancers were among the first British cavalry to arrive in France in 1914, and both regiments served with distinction in the Western Desert in the Second World War, where the 12th Lancers' armoured cars played a critical role in the long-range reconnaissance that shaped the North Africa campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9th\/12th served in Germany throughout the Cold War before amalgamating into the Queen's Royal Lancers in 1993, which itself became The Royal Lancers in 2015 — carrying a lancer tradition that spans three centuries of British cavalry history. The crossed lances and the distinctive scarlet and yellow remain among the most recognisable cavalry colours in the Army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis regimental tie carries those colours with the dash and precision that lancers have always brought to the battlefield.\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 the 9th\/12th Royal Lancers and the cavalry tradition they carried forward into The Royal Lancers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139266781562,"sku":"sku-58438524600645","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/9_12th.jpg?v=1785774023","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/9th-12th-royal-lancers-regimental-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
