HERITAGE PLUS Posted 9 May , 2004 Share Posted 9 May , 2004 Two likely places would be Slade Park Barracks, Headington, Oxford home of the Ox & Bucks LI and the Drill Hall of the Buckinghamshire Battalion OBLI in Oxford Road, Aylesbury Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Reeves Posted 10 May , 2004 Share Posted 10 May , 2004 Nick Although he may have enlisted at a TF drill hall as suggested, recruiting venues often changed. The local newspapers for the town you have indicated may well give a location of the recruiting office for the period in question. The following web page may be useful: Oxfordshire Record Office Information sheet 19 Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicburch Posted 11 May , 2004 Author Share Posted 11 May , 2004 Terry, Many thanks for the info,i have mailed to see if they can help me further,i understand once you enlisted you then waited for call up papers,did you have a choice in which regiment you joined?
