1915 – 2nd Bn Oxf & Bucks LI – LABOURSE.

Companies exercised in Musketry and Drill, and more men trained as Bomb Throwers.
1915 – 1/1st Buckinghamshire Battalion – ROMARIN
Bn in Billets. Resting.
1944 – 1st Buckinghamshire Battalion:- (Normandy)
The remainder of the Battalion moved into Ouistreham and Riva Bella and complete responsibility for the ground and air defence of the locks (the local anti-aircraft was placed under our command) was assumed. So for all practical purposes, after only twelve days of active operations, No. 6 Beach Group ceased to exist, although it continued to live on paper for another three weeks, and the Battalion reverted to an infantry role.
1953 – 1st Bn Oxf & Bucks LI (43rd & 52nd) - Coronation Day. The Regimental detachment lined part of the route in Hyde Park and the Colour Party and Escort marched in procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace.
