From field kitchens in the Western Desert to forward operating bases in Afghanistan, ACC cooks have fed the British Army in every theatre of operations for over eight decades — often under fire, always under pressure, and rarely with the recognition they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNapoleon's maxim that an army marches on its stomach has never been more true than in the hands of the ACC, whose cooks have kept the Army operational in conditions that would defeat most professional chefs. The Corps amalgamated into the Adjutant General's Corps in 1993, but the ACC identity remains a source of pride for those who served in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis regimental tie is a mark of that pride — for the cooks who kept the Army fed and fighting.\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 Army Catering Corps and the essential work its people did.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139266650490,"sku":"sku-58439839973701","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/ACC.jpg?v=1785774023","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/army-catering-corps-acc-regimental-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
