Rhodesian Light Infantry Regimental Association
The Rhodesian Light Infantry Regimental Association is a body established to maintain contact between former members of the Rhodesian Light Infantry. Its objectives also include creating "a legacy for a now lost but once magnificent Rhodesia, a Soldiers Legacy that will remain in the minds of our off-spring for generations to come."[1]
On 28 September 2008, the association re-dedicated the regimental statue at Hatfield House, the home of the Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 7th Marquess of Salisbury.[2]
