The regiment became the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry in 1908. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1909 and appointed adjutant of the 2nd Ox and Bucks (the 52nd) in March 1913. Crosse was awarded the DSO in January 1915. He was appointed Captain in May 1915 and remained adjutant to February 1916. He was appointed Brevet Major in June 1916.
On 8 July 1916 Crosse took over command of the 2nd Ox and Bucks (the 52nd).
