Hi chris,
Yes I was a member of the unit in 1978 and wore the Buckinghamshire Battalion a/a badge. I still have three from that time all the Gaunt B'ham type. Two blackened and one with the high points showing.
I was not with them when they rebadged but they were certainly RGJ badged by 1981 when I was next associated with them via the TA.
If you give me a couple of days I can do some digging and hopefully come up with some definate dates.
I do not know when they adopted the Bucks Bn badge but I have seen photos from the 1950's and 60's of AIs wearing the OBLI Bugle beret badge and possibly the RBH badge.
According to a document I have compiled by the Bucks TAFA the Bucks Cadet Battalion was affiliated to the RGJ in 1967.
Regards
Steve
