Notes:
Prior to the introduction of this design, the regiment wore shoulder titles abbreviated as "QOCH", but this full-word version was officially introduced in 1922 to modernize the unit designation. Because it was widely utilized by both the British Army and overseas Commonwealth units like the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada, identifying the specific battalion often relies on verifying the exact origin or uniform groupings. These metal insignia were phased out of active frontline service during the early stages of World War II when the military transitioned to more practical fabric slip-on patches and embroidered shoulder flashes to prevent reflection.
