    Highland / Scottish units are represented in many of the various formations.

    The 48th Highlanders were sent into France 2 weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk and progressed 300 km inland until they were recalled. Not as popular or publicized as Dunkirk the main event, but still a great achievement for a Highland regiment.

    This information should answer OCR's question comprehensively, well done.

    If you google "Operation Ariel", you will also see more information on other French ports that were used as evacuation points well into August 1940.

    What is singularly missing from the ORBAT is any medical support. In its former designation the current 225 (Scottish) Medical Regt was there - post 4.
