In the mean time we in the band was playing out at concerts and officers mess dinners etc.
But it was two bands made into one and there was so many of us something had to happen a few members were getting near to the end of their army time ,so they went first but still more needed to go ,
This made it a very unhappy band because we did not know who would be next on the list to go ,as most of us were young men with many years ahead of us in the Army.
Anyway at last a new name for the regiment was going to be called "The Queens Own Buffs."that turn out to be at that time the longest title of any regiment at that time in the army.
We was then told the new cap badge was going to be a Home Counties Brigade cap badge ,this did not go down well with the Buffs as we had a great badge with the Dragoon on it .The new badge was much smaller and was poorly made it was rubbish none of the members from both regiments liked it.
