The 2nd Ox and Bucks Light Infantry was originally raised at Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire by Lt. Col H.M. Williams, and was officially recognised on 26th September 1914. On February 1st the 2nd Bucks moved to Northampton, joining the South Midland Reserve Brigade, afterwards the 184th Infantry Brigade. Employed on Home Defence, the battalion performed duties including trench digging around Epping and Chelmsford. On 6th August, a year after the declaration of war, the battalion was inspected by Lord Kitchener himself. In May 1916, after being inspected by HM King George V, the battalion embarked for France, lading at Le Havre on May 25th and going into the trenches around Laventie. On July 19th the battalion took part in a disastrous diversionary attack near Estaires, designed to distract German attention from the ongoing battle of the Somme. The attack was a complete failure and all officers of the three attacking companies were killed or wounded. After new drafts of troops and fresh officers arrived, the battalion retrained in a quiet area before taking up front line positions again at the Butte de Warlencourt on the Somme just as the great battle was ending. The following year the battalion took part in the battle of Passchendaele (Third Ypres) again suffering heavy casualties. The battalion helped stem the German offensives in Spring 1918, before being amalgamated with other units which had suffered heavier losses. This complete history has tables of awards and a Roll of Honour.

The 1/4th Battalion of the Ox & Bucks Light Infantry was formed in Oxford on the outbreak of war in August 1914 as part of the South Midlands Brigade which in turn formed part of the South Midland Division. Landing at Boulogne in France on 30th March 1915, in May the formation became the 145th Brigade in the 48th ( South Midland) Division. It fought in France and Flanders at Ploegsteert, on the Somme and at Third Ypres (Passchendaele) before transferring to prop up the Italian front in November 1917. Maps, awards with full citations, including those for the Military Medal and M.S.M., and a Roll of Honour make this a great source for the gallantry medal collector.

Today's British soldiers serving in Iraq will know the country in which much of this unit history is set - the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers known in the Great War as Mesopotamia. Unusually for such a work of record, the author lays down the background to the Great War in the Middle East in some detail - stressing such factors as the German-Turkish alliance; the building of the Berlin to Baghdad railway and Britain's interest in the Persian ( Iranian) oilfields. He also reports events with a topical resonance today - such as anti-British riots in Basra, and the declaration of a ‘JIhad’. The 43rd took part in the defeat of the Turks at Khan Baghdadi, and after the armistice in the spring of 1919 was re-deployed to Archangel in northern Russia in an effort to nip the Bolshevik revoloution in the bud. Under the command of General Sir Edmund ‘Tiny’ Ironside the 43rd battled gallantly against Bolshevik forces, although beset by flies, mosquitoes, bloodsucking ticks called clegs - and their unreliable White Russian allies. At last, partly through lack of progress and partly due to political pressure against an un popular foreign adventure - another echo of today- the unit was withdrawn in the autumn of 1919. An intriguing and unusual account of two little-known camapigns with eerily prophetic echoes of events in Iraq today.
