You are correct - sorry I was a bit hasty... . not sure which division they were in but appears they are around in 1945.

Wiki:

Four battalions of the Cameron Highlanders served in World War II, and ten representative battle honours were chosen to be borne on the King's Colour:

Saint-Omer-La Bassée (a battle on the retreat to Dunkirk, May 1940)
Reichswald
Rhine
Keren
Sidi Barrani
El Alamein
Akarit a Wadi in Tunisia
Gothic Line
Kohima
Mandalay

The 4th Battalion was sent to the West Indies in 1942, with a company detached to the Bermuda Garrison (including future Major Donald Henry "Bob" Burns, MC, who would subsequently be a Second-in-Command of the Bermuda Regiment, Town Crier of St. George's, and Guinness world record holder for loudest human speaking voice).
