On this day 29th March
1790 – 52nd – Reached Aulloor (Southern India).
1915 - 1/4th Bn Oxf & Bucks LI - arrived Boulogne from England.
1919 – 1st Bn Oxf & Bucks LI
To Port Said by train and accommodated in the Rest Camp, where all troops were confined to camp owing to trouble in the town.
This embarking and disembarking, entraining and detraining, have become a little wearisome now.
We have about six tons of baggage, and the constant moving of this is hard work for the Cadre, which is a small party. There is also the risk of losing portions of it.
1922 - 2nd Bn Oxf & Bucks LI - The Regiment disembarked and left Karachi in the evening by train.
1943 - 7th Bn Oxf & Bucks LI - started out on a 3,000 mile journey to join the 8th Army. (29th/30th March)

1945 - 2nd (AB) Bn Oxf & Bucks LI – COESFELD (North West Europe)
0730 - R.U.R. leading the Brigade today with tanks from 4 Guards Armoured Brigade moved through KL REKEN & GR REKEN, thence by a cross-country route to COESFELD.
The RUR has been held up on the high ground SouthWest of the town.
The 52nd concentrated in farm 607685 and came under some Air-burst fire A & B Coys assaulted eastwards to get astride the main road into COESFELD from the south.
No opposition.
The Regiment entered COESFELD much battered from RAF attacks at 2145 hrs and areas for local protection were allotted.
