The 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards served with distinction in the Western Desert and in North-West Europe, fighting from Normandy to the Rhine. Together, the regiments that formed the Royal Dragoon Guards carried a battle honour list that spans Blenheim, Waterloo, the Boer War, and both World Wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday the Royal Dragoon Guards are an armoured cavalry regiment based in York, operating in the reconnaissance and strike roles that have defined British cavalry since the age of the horse. Fast, flexible, and equally capable in combat and in support operations, they maintain the tradition of the dragoon — the soldier equally at home mounted or on foot — in the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 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":57055331287418,"sku":"TIE-MIL3-RDG","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/TIE-008R-BensonAndCleggRoyalDragoonGuardsSilkTie.jpg?v=1783621842","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/the-royal-dragoon-guards-three-fold-silk-reppe-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
