  • The First Green Jackets? by Roy Bailey
    The First Green Jackets? by Roy Bailey All the histories of the former regiments which make up the Royal Green Jackets tell us that they were formed in the middle to later years of the 18th century. As a new recruit to the 1st Bn. the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (43rd & 52nd) in late 1954, I was not only trained to march at 140 paces to the minute and to carry my rifle at the trail, but I was also instilled with a pride in the regiment’s long and illustrious history. Indeed, I still have my copy of Col. Crosse’s A Short History… for the Young Soldiers of the Regiment, which was issued to all recruits, together with the programme of the Ceremonial Parade held at Osnabrück in October 1955 to mark the bicentenary of the 52nd. If my memory serves me correctly at a distance of nearly half a century, I was a member of the No. 1 (Escort) Company under Major Dennis Fox that day. But over the past few years I have often wondered if the spiritual and territorial origins of the Oxford and Bucks don’t go back a lot further - to the time of the English Civil War. As a boy I was proud of the fact that I was born and brought up in Buckinghamshire, and learned to cherish the history and traditions of that county. Listening to an episode of ‘Children’s Hour’ at the age of 9, I learned of a fellow countryman from the 17th century whom I have studied and admired ever since.

    Ζεύς The Angel of Cycles and Solutions will help us get back on track. In the old schools this angel was known as Jupiter (Zeus in the Greek Mysteries) and was thought of as the personification of cyclic law, the Causal Power of expansion, and the angel of miracles.

He is the god of sky and thunder in Greek mythology. Zeus is etymologically cognate with and, under Hellenic influence, became particularly closely identified with Roman Jupiter. Zeus is the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. In most traditions he is married to Hera, although, at the oracle of Dodona, his consort is Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Aphrodite by Dione.[5] He is known for his erotic escapades.

  • Battle of Aylesbury.Indd
    The Battle of Aylesbury Was Oliver Cromwell really there? On the 1st November 1642 the Royalist garrison stationed in Aylesbury went out to meet the forces of Parliament. Holman’s Bridge, which crosses the river Thame on the modern A413 road north of Aylesbury, is said to be the site of the battle. Aylesbury was at the time firmly for Parliament and against King Charles I. It is perhaps for this reason that Prince Rupert’s forces chose to ride out, away from the hostile townsfolk, rather than defend Aylesbury in a siege. Also, since Rupert was a cavalryman of renown, the temptation must have been strong to fight in open country rather than from behind walls. The Royalists were numerically superior to Parliamentary commander Sir William Balfore’s detachment of around 1,500 men. Sir William’s force had been deployed to contain the threat posed by Prince Rupert. Containment of the Royalists was particularly urgent as Prince Rupert was implementing a ‘scorched earth’ policy in Buckinghamshire. One contemporary chronicler put it “Thither Prince Rupert marched with a force of some thousands of horse and foot, and, after some days past in securing for the King’s use much of the produce of the Vale and despoiling and laying waste much more than he secured, entered and into the melee. This close quarter butchery was possessed himself of the town”. Incidentally many a something that the King’s forces had no stomach for, cellar in the old part of town may well be a remnant of and they began to retreat across the ford, where the the tunnel network built at this time which supposedly Prince tried to rally his forces, but to no avail.

  • Saybrook Settlement on 19Th March 1631/2, Lords Saye and Brooke with Ten Others Including the Hon
    Saybrook Settlement On 19th March 1631/2, Lords Saye and Brooke with ten others including the Hon. Charles Fiennes, John Hampden, John Humphris, Richard Knightley, Herbert Pelham, John Pym, Henry Rich, Earl of Holland, Sir Nathaniel Rich, Sir Richard Saltonstall and Sir Harry Vane, obtained from Lord Warwick and his New England Company a patent to buy a tract of land stretching forty leagues (about 140 miles) from the Narragasett River in Massachusetts. They appointed, as governor, John Winthrop, a member of a wealthy wool family, and, if possible, even more opposed to the established church than was Lord Saye. Winthrop, an experienced colonist, was bidden to establish a settlement and fort at the mouth of the river, to be known as Saybrook. Several shiploads of new colonists were sent over from England. In 1633 both Saye and Brooke purchased more land to create a plantation at Dover, New Hampshire. The Saybrook settlement was to be the insurance policy/bolt hole for Lords Saye and Brooke should things go, politically, badly wrong in the future. Lord Saye insisted that the colony should have an aristocracy with himself at the head and the others to be selected by himself; the Massachusetts government would have none of it. In the meantime the political situation in England was rapidly deteriorating. The Lords Saye and Brooke lost interest in the venture and after much wrangling the land was sold and became a part of Connecticut. Lord Saye turned his interests south-westward and concentrated his efforts and finances on the Providence Island Company. The Plotters and their Plotting In 1625, within months of his accession to the throne, Charles I was experiencing opposition from Parliament to his money raising ventures.
