As a light infantry regiment, the SLI was trained for speed and fieldcraft — skirmishing ahead of the line, moving fast and shooting accurately. The regiment served with distinction in the Peninsula, at Waterloo, in India, and through both World Wars, including the bitter fighting in Gallipoli and on the Western Front. Amalgamated into the Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry in 1959 and ultimately into the Light Infantry in 1968, their legacy lives on in The Rifles today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis regimental tie is a fitting tribute to a West Country regiment with over three centuries of service behind it.\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 Somerset's long and proud military tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FatChimp \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139267666298,"sku":"sku-58452774912325","price":25.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/4684\/files\/SLI.jpg?v=1785774030","url":"https:\/\/www.fatchimp.co.uk\/products\/the-somerset-light-infantry-sli-tie","provider":"Fat Chimp Forces Wear \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
