Was a Yorkshire Army Regiment held captive in a POW camp in Burma in World War 2?
Not at all,From ????????????Answer I found a website that lists the British units that were serving in Southeast Asia in 1939. It was later in 1940 or so that the British had to evacuate Burma. Then in 1945, they re-captured it. So, I'm not sure if you are referring to a unit that served in 1940 or 1945. The British Regiments were named after regions or cities. Usually the name would be "West Yorkshire". Each Regiment would contain 2 or more battalions that would serve in different theaters of operation. The British learned in WW1 that if the entire regiment served at one battle, then the chances of a loss would be devastiting on the home where they were from. The link below lists the 2nd Battalion, The King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry as serving in the Maymyo Infantry Brigade Area in Burma. I suspect that this is the unit you are seeking. Reference this page that lists the Organization of British units in 1939:http://home.adelphia.net/~dryan67/orders/ukover.html Custermen
How many pals battalions from Scotland?
During World War I, Scotland raised 16 Pals Battalions, which were volunteer infantry units formed from groups of friends, colleagues, and communities. These battalions were part of the broader effort to enlist men for the war, with many recruiting in towns and cities across Scotland. Notable examples include the 16th (Service) Battalion, The Royal Scots, known as the "McCrae's Battalion," which was formed in Edinburgh. The Pals Battalions were significant in fostering camaraderie but also faced tragic losses on the battlefield.

How many Scottish regiments fought in World War 1?
If you want a list of all members of all Scottish Regiments, that would be difficult to provide. A lesson the British learned from WW2 was if you an entire Regiment served in one campaign or battle, then if that regiment suffered high loss of life that it would have a detrimental impact on the region or town from where the regiment was organized. Therefore, British Regiments(including those designated as Scottish Regiments) were divided into Battalions and each battalion would serve in a different part of the war. Thus the battalion designated 1 Royal Scots would be sent to one campaign and the 2 Royal Scotts were sent to another. This kind of info might be available.
