If it is not to do with the Leicesters could it be related to the Hampshire Regiment?

They had the nickname of the "Hampshire Tigers" and some were known as the "Tebourba Tigers" after the WW2 Tunisian battle:

I even seem to remember a "Tebourba Way" in Southampton some 40 odd years ago. Maybe it is still there?
