For much of military history, the horse was as vital a piece of equipment as any weapon — and the men of the RAVC kept them fit to fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Corps earned its Royal prefix in 1918, in recognition of its outstanding service during the First World War, where it treated over two and a half million animals — horses, mules, camels, and dogs — on every front. The scale of that work is almost impossible to comprehend; without the RAVC, the Army's ability to move, supply, and fight would have been severely compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the RAVC remains a small but highly specialised Corps. Its personnel include veterinary surgeons, registered veterinary nurses, and military working dog handlers — caring for the Army's dogs, horses, and regimental mascots, and standing ready to support with animal transport in austere environments. Military working dogs serve on operations worldwide, detecting explosives and providing force protection, and the RAVC handlers who work alongside them form one of the most distinctive partnerships in the British Army.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Corps motto — \u003cem\u003eInnoxia Cura\u003c\/em\u003e, Harmless Care — reflects a quiet dedication that has never sought the spotlight, but has always been essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted by \u003cstrong\u003eBenson \u0026amp; Clegg\u003c\/strong\u003e, London's foremost makers of regimental and club neckwear since 1937, this three-fold silk reppe tie is constructed without an interlining — allowing the silk to drape and knot with exceptional weight and fluidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% silk reppe weave, three-fold construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade width approx. 9.0cm\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":57055373033850,"sku":"TIE-MIL2-VETCORPS","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/TIE-198R-BensonAndCleggRoyalArmyVeterinaryCorpsSilkTie.jpg?v=1783622334","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/royal-army-veterinary-corps-three-fold-silk-reppe-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
