The Black Watch was formed as part of the Childers Reforms in 1881 when the Royal Highland Regiment (The Black Watch) was amalgamated with the 73rd (Perthshire) Foot to form two battalions of the newly named Black Watch (Royal Highlanders). In World War II, the 8th (Training) Battalion was a Home Service territorial battalion that did not serve overseas. In August 1941 is was amalgamated with the 9th Battalion training reinforcements for other units, including the 6th Battalion in North Africa.
