I had an ancestor in the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry and he was based in a Barracks in High 'Wycombe. Does anyone know the name of these barracks.

When I grew up in High Wycombe, Barracks Rd was still housing the local Territorial Army.  It was west of the town centre off Suffield Rd.

Also had grandad in Oxford and Bucks and as Bucksgirl says there was a TA barracks in Suffield and I know that the 1st/Ist Oxford and Bucks was a territorial unit.
