A nice un-issued KOSB (Kings Own Scottish Borderers) white on red embroided shoulder title

This is a good example of a un-issued KOSB (Kings Own Scottish Borderers) white on red embroided shoulder title. In the period between the wars, the regiment's regular battalions were sent all over the British Empire to Ireland, Egypt and Hong Kong but were quickly recalled home at the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939. One of its heaviest losses during the war was at the ill-fated Battle of Arnhem in which the 7th Battalion, as part of the 1st Airlanding Brigade of 1st Airborne Division, suffered 90% casualties in September 1944;[13] they defended the perimeter in Oosterbeek against 2nd SS Panzer Corps. This example is in a perfect un-issued condition.
