Can anyone ID this button?

If I recall correctly, that is the specific emblem of the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Regiment (British). Also known as the "Ox & Bucks" regiment, it is one of the oldest still-existing regiments in the British Army.

I did some websearching to confirm that my old memory was correct. You have dug a button from a specific British regiment, which fought here in the USA during both the Revolutionary War and the War Of 1812-15, and also the French & Indian War (and played a key role at Normandy on D-Day).

You can a photo of the emblem on your button - and read the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire (a.k.a. "Ox & Bucks") regiment's history) at:
