After being reformed from the 4^th Camerons, the 2^nd Bn wore as their sleeve insignia the 2 x 2" square tartan patch. This was worn below the "fouled anchor" sign of 228 Infantry brigade and the single scarlet (Infantry) arm-of-service strip. This was worn while serving in the Orkney & Shetland Isles until their transfer back to the 4^th Indian Division.

The sleeve insignia worn on the Battledress Blouse by the 2^nd Cameron Highlanders consisted of the red eagle on black flash of the 4^th Indian Infantry Division above a single scarlet (infantry) arm-of-service strip. Below this was a square of Cameron of Erracht tartan 2 x 2". These markings were worn on the upper sleeves of the battledress blouse.

When khaki drill clothing was worn, insignia consisted of a cloth slip-on worn on the epaulettes. On this slip-on was the 4^th Indian Infantry Division flash above a square of Cameron of Erracht tartan. 

When the khaki drill bush jacket was introduced, some soldiers commonly would wear their insignia on a patch of material sewn to the upper arms of the jacket. This would consist of the division flash above a square of the Cameron of Erracht tartan.

Upon their transfer to the 6^th Armoured Division at the end of the War, the 2^nd Camerons retained their tartan flash worn below the mailed fist formation sign of the 6^th Armoured Division and the single infantry arm-of-service strip.
