Originally formed as a home defence cavalry force during the Napoleonic Wars, the regiment went on to serve with distinction across three major conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Second Boer War, the regiment contributed men to the Imperial Yeomanry, gaining their first taste of active service on the South African veldt. In the First World War they served as cavalry before transitioning to a dismounted role, fighting on the Western Front. By the Second World War the regiment had converted to armour, serving as part of the 79th Armoured Division — the famous “Hobart's Funnies” — operating specialised armoured vehicles during the Normandy landings and the subsequent campaign through North-West Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the regiment lives on as part of the Scottish and North Irish Yeomanry. This tie is a mark of that long and proud Scottish cavalry tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Tie\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by \u003cstrong\u003eBenson \u0026amp; Clegg\u003c\/strong\u003e, London's foremost makers of regimental and club neckwear since 1937, this silk reppe tie is made to the exacting standards that have defined British regimental neckwear for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% silk reppe weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade width approx. 8.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in a Benson \u0026amp; Clegg gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57055331320186,"sku":"TIE-HIST-FIFEFORFAR","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/tie-hist-fifeforfar-benson-clegg-fife-and-forfar-yeomanry-silk-reppe-tie_2bdc7d83-e9c3-4deb-87fd-3ae552d8d590.jpg?v=1783621842","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/fife-and-forfar-yeomanry-silk-reppe-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
