"From Recruitment Poster to Battlefields: The Remarkable Legacy of the Buffs" Step back in time to the year 1900, as a Recruitment Poster for the British Military proudly displays the emblem of The Royal East Kent Regiment - Corporal. This historic regiment, known as "The Buffs, " has left an indelible mark on military history. Tracing their footsteps across Spain and Portugal during the years 1807-1814, The Buffs faced countless challenges. Just like crocodiles forming a squadron, they displayed unwavering unity and strength in battle. Their courage was unmatched. Venturing further east to NWFP (North-West Frontier Province), The Buffs found themselves at Bilot. Here, they stood tall against any threat that came their way. They were not just soldiers; they were protectors of peace and defenders of justice. As World War I erupted, German discus grenades became synonymous with destruction and chaos. Yet amidst this turmoil, The Buffs remained resolute and unyielding. Each metal tag attached to these deadly weapons bore witness to their valiant efforts. Uniformed officers and sergeants from prestigious regiments such as Seaforth Highlanders (Rosshire Buffs) exemplified honor and tradition. With every step taken on treacherous terrains or through dense jungles, they embodied resilience that knew no bounds. Witnessing pivotal moments like "The Expedition against the Bunerwals" or "The Attack on Tangi Pass, " one cannot help but marvel at the bravery exhibited by The Buffs. These lithographs capture scenes where valor met adversity head-on – a testament to their unwavering spirit. In times when troops were needed for war, it was British Infantry who answered the call without hesitation. Among them stood proud members of The Buffs - warriors ready to face any challenge thrown their way.
