The Light Infantry Gift Collection
The Light Infantry regiment has a storied history dating back to the mid-18th century. Originally formed to counter the guerrilla tactics of the French and Native American forces during the Seven Years' War, the regiment quickly became known for its exceptional marksmanship and rapid mobility. Recognised by their distinctive bugle calls and green uniforms, the Light Infantry soldiers were trained to move swiftly and operate independently, making them invaluable in both conventional and irregular warfare.
They were officially amalgamated to form the Light Infantry Regiment in 1968 with their motto “Celer et Audax” (Swift and Bold) reflecting their unique skills in speed, adaptability and bravery.
The new incarnation of the Light Infantry was highly effective and versatile in recent campaigns in the Middle East and, as part of a significant reorganization of the British Army, on 1st February 2007, they were amalgamated with other infantry regiments to form The Rifles. Nevertheless, the legacy and traditions of the original Light Infantry have withstood the tests of time and live on within The Rifles.
