The regiment was engaged in the Second Boer War, in many of the greatest battles of World War I. In World War II the regiment fought as part of the British Expeditionary Force in France, forming part of the rearguard at Dunkirk, in North Africa, Italy and France, after D-Day, and also in Burma. The regiment also fought in the Korean War, notably at the Battle for the Hook, in police actions in Cyprus, Kenya and Hong Kong and, more recently, in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo and the 2003 Iraq War.
