Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Light Infantry uniform button, 26mm size, executed in brass and dating to the 1908–1946 pattern. This button features the regiment’s recognised device in clear relief, incorporating a bugle horn surmounted by a crown, with a surrounding title “Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire”, all set within a scalloped-border field consistent with early twentieth-century light infantry uniform fittings.
The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry was a line infantry regiment with light infantry traditions, reflected in the bugle-horn emblem symbolising skirmishing and rapid movement. The crowned design denotes service under the British sovereign during the reigns of King Edward VII, King George V, and King George VI. Buttons of this type were worn on service and dress uniforms, forming an important element of regimental identity.
Manufactured in brass with a loop shank fitting to the reverse, this example provides a well-defined representation of British infantry insignia spanning the First and Second World War periods. Buttons of this regiment are collected as examples of light infantry history, British Army uniform components, and twentieth-century militaria.
