| 7th battalion was converted to a parachute battalion in August 1942 and redesignated 5th (Scottish) Parachute battalion. they saw action in N Africa, Italy, South of France and Greece. As a clarification to my last, 4th Camerons (Captured at St Valery) were redesignated as the new 2nd Camerons on 2nd December 1942, the original 2nd Camerons being captured at Tobruk, June 1942. |
