During the Second Great War, the Borderers were heavily involved with the invasion of The Cape as part of Operation Lightfoot. The Regiment saw action throughout the duration of the conflict, and helped fight to the outskirts of Cape Town as part of Operation Severance. During this time, the Regiment's experience in complex terrain fighting helped immensely, as the mountainous and hilly terrain of the Southern portions of the Capetian peninsula made it difficult for fast-moving mechanized formations to maneuver, and the ground favoured elite mountain troops such as the Borderers. The Regiment withdrew in good order at the end of the war after two successful campaigns. | |||
