14th "Buckinghamshire" Regiment of Foot

[J. Campbell]

Nec Aspera Terrent (Afraid Of No Hardships)
-14th (Buckinghamshire) Regiment Motto

In June 1685 the Monmouth Rebellion against the Catholic King James II was still in full swing and the king was in need of troops. One of the noblemen he commissioned to raise a regiment that month was Sir Edward Hales who formed his new unit at Canterbury. It took part in the defence of Gibraltar in 1727 and remained there until 1742. It fought against the Jacobites again at Falkirk and Culloden (1745), then moved to the West Indies. There it was given the numeral 14 in 1751, and from 1752 to 1759 was back in Gibraltar. In 1766 it moved to Nova Scotia, then two years later to Boston, where it was involved in the 1770 Boston Massacre. It was briefly in the West Indies, for three years from 1772, but returned to North America in time for the American War of Independence (1775-83). In 1776 so little was left of the regiment that its remaining men had to be posted to reinforce other regiments, while its officers had to be sent back to England to re-recruit. In 1782 it was given a county association for the first time, with Bedfordshire. In 1809 the 14th Regiment of Foot and the 16th Regiment of Foot swapped counties, leaving the 14th with Buckinghamshire. The regiment was unusual in raising a 3rd Battalion of regular troops during the Napoleonic Wars. This was formed in 1813 from volunteers from the militia. 3rd Battalion fought at Waterloo (1815), but a year later both it and 2nd Battalion were disbanded. 1st Battalion returned to the West Indies and Canada between 1836 and 1847 and then served in the Crimea in 1855. It then spent the rest of the century in Malta, the Ionian Islands, India, Aden, England and Ireland. 2nd Battalion remained on the Western Front throughout World War One, but 1st Battalion moved from there to Italy in 1917. The regiment also won four Victoria Crosses and raised 35 reserve, territorial and service battalions during the conflict. They also had very different experiences of World War Two. 1st Battalion was in India in 1939 and fought in Burma from (1942-44) before returning to India. In contrast, 2nd Battalion had been sent to Palestine in 1938 and so had fought in Abyssinia, Egypt, Iraq and Cyprus by 1943, when it was sent to Burma. In 1945 2nd Battalion held Java, before moving to Malaya the following year and amalgamating into 1st Battalion in 1948. 1st Battalion carried out occupation duties in Austria from 1946 to 1952 and garrison duties in Northern Ireland in 1955. It also fought in both the Malayan Emergency and the Suez crisis before merging with The East Yorkshire Regiment in 1958 to form The Prince of Wales’s Own Regiment of Yorkshire.
