Hi Guys,
Looking through a wiki webpage for the Royal Green Jackets I noticed that the
5th (V) Bn of the Royal Green Jackets was formed from the 4th Bn of the Ox & Bucks L.I (T.A) and the Bucks Bn of the Ox & Bucks L.I. I believe this amalgamation happened in 1969.

So,the regiments title certainly lived on after the war. Wether there were any official badges made at Regimental or Battery level I don't know.
Looking through my collection I do have a black metal and an anodised Q.C Bucks Bn badge.
Kipling & King Vol2 also shows a black Q.C cap badge to the Bucks Bn (2391 page167 refers).Both of these badges were made by J.R Gaunt B'ham. I have seen a few of these anodised Bucks Bn badges and they have all had that "used" look about them on the badges high points & slider.

There is also good info on the silver anodised Buckinghamshire Regiment badge on page 142 also from K&K.
Hope this helps
Best Regards
