The Yorkshire Regiment tie in all silk reppe also available in polyester.
The Yorkshire Regiment (14th/15th, 19th and 33rd/76th Foot) (Abbreviated: YORKS) is one of the largest infantry regiments of the British Army. The regiment is the only line infantry or rifles unit to represent a single geographical county in the new infantry structure, serving as the county regiment of Yorkshire covering the historical areas of the East Riding of Yorkshire, North Riding of Yorkshire and West Riding of Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and the current county areas of North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire. Its northern border is the historic Yorkshire boundary of the River Tees, which today includes the majority of Redcar and Cleveland and the south westerly part of County Durham. Although districts to the east of Barnsley, south of the River Aire and north of the River Tees, are part of the recruiting area of The Rifles, any person who expresses a wish to serve in the Yorkshire Regiment can do so.
The regiment's formation was announced on 16 December 2004 by Geoff Hoon and General Sir Mike Jackson as part of the restructuring of the infantry - it was formed from the merger of three regular battalions, plus a TA battalion:
* 1st Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Own) (previously: 1st Battalion, Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire)
* 2nd Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards) (previously: 1st Battalion, Green Howards)
* 3rd Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment (Duke of Wellington's) (previously: 1st Battalion, The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding))
* 4th Battalion, The Yorkshire Regiment (previously: Prince of Wales's Own company of The East and West Riding Regiment, Green Howards company from the Tyne-Tees Regiment and two companies of The Duke of Wellington's Regiment from The East and West Riding Regiment), all formerly titled and known as The Yorkshire Volunteers.
The regiment was officially formed on the 6 June 2006.
