ROYAL UNION RIFLES

The Royal Union Rifles represent a fictional British Army of the Rhine infantry platoon circa 1984. Formed in 2010 the ‘Rifles' represent the British Army in its Cold War years of 1982-1987 when the British Army, as part of NATO, faced off against the might of the Soviet Union across a divided Germany. Our fictional cap badge has been chosen to avoid causing offense to any BAOR veterans. We hope instead they will be pleased that we honour their service and highlight these veterans of the war that, thankfully, never was.
