Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko te 2nd Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers i mahi i Edinburgh i te pakarutanga o te pakanga i raro i te Scottish Command, i whakahaua e Lieutenant Colonel Walter Clutterbuck. I te tīmatanga o Oketopa 1939 i whakakotahitia te poari ki te 2nd Seaforth Highlanders me te 2nd Northants ki te hanga i te 17th Infantry Brigade, i tukuna ki te 5th Infantry Division. I tukuna ratou hei roopu parirau motuhake ki Parani i te mutunga o te tau 1939 ki te hono atu ki te toenga o te British Expeditionary Force (BEF) ka uru ki te Pakanga o Dunkirk ka nekehia ki Ingarangi. Whai muri i nga tau e 2 i whakapau ai ki te tiaki kaainga i te United Kingdom, i wehe te peihana me te pereti mai i te wehenga 5, me te peihana tuatahi, i whawhai ki Madagascar. I muri mai ka kite te ope taua i te mahi
e whawhai ana i Hiti. I te tau 1944 i whawhai te wehenga ki te Pakanga o Anzio i etahi o nga pakanga tino kaha o te Whakatairanga Itari tae noa ki tenei wa. Ko nga taunga o Anzio he ngana ki te tarai i te Raina Gustav Tiamana, tetahi o nga raina tiaki i hangaia e nga Tiamana puta noa i Itari. Whai muri i nga pakanga nanakia i reira, i tangohia te 2 RSF me te toenga o te 5th Division, i te Hurae 1944, ki Palestine ki te okioki me te whakahou. I hoki mai ratou ki Itari i te timatanga o te 1945, engari i whakawhitihia, me te I Canadian Corps mai i te British Eighth Army, ki Belgium ki te whakauru ki te 21 Army Group i te whakaekenga a Allied o Germany.
