	WAUR and The Royal Green Jackets
		Unlike British Light infantry, which marches at 140 paces to the minute, the University Regiment marches at a tempo of 120 paces to the minute.
		Hearing that their support was urgently needed in Spain, they set out at once on a forced march of 250 miles, the last fifty‑two in twenty‑six hours, to join Wellington's army at Talavera, but arrived on the battlefield only to find that the battle was already won.
		It was no accident that these particular regiments, each having had such a distinguished record in the past, should have progressively, voluntarily and successfully come together, avoiding the stresses which often accompany amalgamations, because they shared a large measure of their history and their traditions.

	Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry
		It is unclear what happened to this Band when the Regiment was converted to Light Infantry in 1803 and thus acquired bugles.
		Under the new arrangement both bands continued to thrive, and in the early '90s the 1st Battalion even re-launched its string band, which had disappeared a quarter of the century earlier: the revival was an initiative of the bandsmen themselves, who bought their own instruments in order to expand their musical range.
		By 1915 he was leading a Band of 25 men and ten boys on a recruiting march through Oxfordshire; later that year a photograph of the Band shows it to be 38-strong.
