The Light Infantry was formed in 1968 from the amalgamation of four distinguished county 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 — carrying forward a rifleman's tradition of speed, aggression, and initiative that stretches back to the Peninsular War. Serving with distinction through Northern Ireland, the Falklands, and the Gulf before becoming a founding regiment of The Rifles in 2007, the Light Infantry's legacy endures. This embroidered patch is a fitting tribute, worn on a jacket, vest, bergen, or kit bag.
