World War I
In 1908 the reserve forces of the British Army were reorganised, and the Royal Bucks Yeomanry were transferred to the Territorial Force, forming part of the 2nd South Midland Mounted Brigade, along with the Berkshire and Oxfordshire Yeomanry. On the outbreak of First World War it was decided that each unit of the Territorial Force should form a duplicate or "second line" unit, while a "third line" duplicate was later formed. The existing regiment was redesignated as the 1/1st Royal Buckinghamshire Yeomanry and the second and third line units were known as the 2/1st and 3/1st.
