The Light Infantry (LI) Motif Pre-Tie Bow Tie

Light Infantry Motif Pre-Tied Bow Tie The mess night standard, without the knotting. This Light Infantry motif pre-tied bow tie carries the regiment's distinctive badge in a format built for regimental dinners, mess nights and formal occasions — consistent, sharp, and ready to wear straight from the box. The motif design gives a more formal, distinguished finish than the striped version — ideal for black tie occasions. The Light Infantry was formed in 1968 from the amalgamation of four historic county light infantry regiments — the Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry, the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and the Durham Light Infantry — bringing together a light infantry tradition stretching back to the 18th century. The LI served in Northern Ireland, the Gulf War, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan, maintaining the distinctive light infantry ethos of speed, aggression and initiative that has always set the light infantryman apart. The regiment amalgamated into The Rifles in 2007, but the LI identity remains fiercely held by those who served in it.
