A neat example of a nice white on red embroided A.&S.H. (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) shoulder title

This is a neat un-issued example of a nice white on red embroided A.&S.H. (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) shoulder title. The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's) was a line infantry regiment of the British Army that existed from 1881 until amalgamation into the Royal Regiment of Scotland on 28 March 2006. The 1st Battalion fought in the Western Desert Campaign, Crete, Abyssinia, Sicily and in the Italian Campaign. The 2nd Battalion fought valiantly against the Imperial Japanese Army during the fighting in Malaya and Singapore. The 5th battalion landed in France as part of the British Expeditionary Force in September 1939. They took part in the Dunkirk evacuation in June 1940. The 6th battalion landed in France as corps troops for I Corps with the British Expeditionary Force in September 1939. They took also part in the Dunkirk evacuation in June 1940. In May 1942, the 15th Battalion, raised during the war, was redesignated as the new 2nd Battalion. This battalion joined the 227th (Highland) Infantry Brigade and became a part of the 15th (Scottish) Infantry Division, a formation that would gain an excellent reputation, in 1943. With the division, the battalion fought in the Battle for Caen, seeing its first action in Operation Epsom, as part of Operation Overlord. The division ended the war on the Elbe River. This example is in a perfect un-issued condition.
