Boxing vest, 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment, 2000 (c)
Black and white Adidas sports vest with 3 Para insignia on the chest and Capita logo and the name 'Webb' on the back.
Since ancient times boxing has long been considered excellent training for soldiers. The British Army has long believed it develops fitness, character, strength, persistence and courage. Today, Army boxing is governed by the Army Boxing Association which works closely with the Amateur Boxing Association of England to make sure the sport is regulated and its participants are safe.
Training in the Parachute Regiment includes 'milling' where soldiers engage in aggressive boxing bouts for a fixed period of time.
From a collection of uniform items relating to 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment.
