​
​

Regimental Designation as published in ACI 905 dated 12 June 1943.

This designation was not worn by the 1st Battalion as the CO refused to adopt it on the grounds that the Buckinghamshire Battalion was a “Rifle” battalion and should have green titles.
The Battalion had won the right to wear the Green “Rifles” Arm of Service strip in 1941.
The battalion continued to wear the regimental flash to show its identity.
 
There is some evidence to suggest that the title was worn by some individual soldiers whilst being Extra Regimentally Employed away from the Battalion.
