| Royal Gibraltar Regiment Presentation Piece |
The commemorative item (right) was presented to The Royal Irish Regiment by The Royal Gibraltar Regiment on 3 July 1999.
The piece representing a hollowed-out log with sterling silver caps at either end, one bearing the cap badge of The Royal Irish Regiment, the other the cap badge of The Royal Gibraltar Regiment, was commissioned to mark Royal approval for a formal alliance between the two Regiments. The scroll detailing the alliance is held in the hollowed-out centre of the log that rests on a marble pedestal.
