The first battalion of the regiment served in Great Britain at the time when German invasion threatarened, the Middle East, Sicily, Italy and there again after rest and reorganisation in Egypt. The second battalion was in the British Isles for most of the war, largely involved in training duties. The third battalion remained in Britain till 1942, then seeing service in Egypt and North Africa, Sicily and Italy till, like the first battalion, war's end.
