The 2/5th was a duplicate Territorial battalion raised in 1939.

The territorial battalions overcame their first and second objectives, but progress was difficult.

After 1926 this territorial battalion wore a blackened badge of the regular pattern.

The majority of infantry regiments contains multiple regular and territorial battalions.

The men of the territorial battalions were under no obligation to serve outside the borders of Burma.

After national service they were posted to a territorial battalion in or close to the town or city they hailed from.

Territorial battalions of The Border Regiment make an interesting story.

Territorial battalions were renumbered in series after the special reserve battalions.

The regiment was reduced to a single regular battalion (the 1st) in 1948, and two territorial battalions (the 7th and 8th).

Inter-war reductions and reorganisations reduced the regiment's territorial battalions from six to one by 1937.
