Granted the Royal prefix in 1946 in recognition of its Second World War service, the RPC provided essential combat support — construction, clearance, logistic support and prisoner of war handling — in every major theatre from North Africa to North-West Europe. The Corps amalgamated into the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993, but the Pioneer identity remains a source of pride for those who served. The pick and rifle badge and the motto \u003cem\u003eLabor Omnia Vincit\u003c\/em\u003e — Work Conquers All — say everything about what the Pioneers stood for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Pre-tied — no knotting required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable neck strap to suit a wide range of collar sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Wipe clean\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 bow 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 bow tie honours the Royal Pioneer Corps and the essential work its people did.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57141604843898,"sku":"sku-58683466350917","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/0182-000-522-000.jpg?v=1785787305","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/royal-pioneer-corps-rpc-pre-tied-polyester-bow-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
