In 1908, Buckinghamshire was added to the regimental title, creating the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the 43rd and 52nd, the regiment inherited a distinguished Light Infantry tradition stretching back into the 18th century, including celebrated service during the Peninsular War and at Waterloo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ox \u0026amp; Bucks later served through both World Wars and became particularly renowned for its role in airborne operations during the Second World War. In the opening minutes of D-Day, 6 June 1944, men of the 2nd Battalion landed by Horsa glider to seize the strategically vital bridges over the Caen Canal and River Orne, helping secure the eastern flank of the Allied landings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1958, the regiment became 1st Green Jackets (43rd and 52nd).

Light Infantry historically operated in more dispersed formations, where bugle calls provided an effective means of communicating orders across the battlefield. The bugle consequently became an enduring emblem of the Light Infantry role.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Ox \u0026amp; Bucks, the badge also represents the traditions inherited from the 43rd and 52nd Regiments of Foot, whose histories became part of the regiment on its formation in 1881.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStriking in its simplicity, the classic Ox \u0026amp; Bucks badge carries no Royal Crown, regimental title scroll or lettering. The distinctive strung bugle horn itself provides the regimental identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it remains an instantly recognisable emblem of the Ox \u0026amp; Bucks and the generations of soldiers who served under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eOxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry veterans and families\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eOx \u0026amp; Bucks regimental families\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e43rd and 52nd Regiment heritage collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eD-Day and airborne military history collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen Jackets and Royal Green Jackets veterans and collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish Army and cap badge collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegimental collections and displays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetirement, service and remembrance gifts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish military history enthusiasts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOfficial Licensed Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntellectual Property of the Secretary of State for Defence is used under licence.
