During the Great War, there were 23 Scottish regiments that served in the British Army. These regiments played a significant role in various battles and campaigns throughout the conflict. Notable among them were the Black Watch, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, and the Royal Scots. Collectively, they contributed a substantial number of troops to the war effort, reflecting Scotland's rich military tradition.
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.
In 1776, the Continental Army consisted of several infantry regiments formed to fight in the American Revolutionary War. By that year, there were approximately 70 regiments of infantry, including both state and Continental regiments. The exact number could vary as new regiments were raised and others were disbanded throughout the year. These regiments played a crucial role in the fight for American independence.
Around 34 000 Scottish soldiers were killed during WW2.
Over 186,000 African Americans, comprising 163 units, served in the United States Army, then nicknamed the "Union Army" during the American Civil War. Later in the war, many regiments were recruited as "The United States Colored Troops". The U.S.C.T. was the predecessor to the Buffalo Soldier regiments of the American Old West.
