A perfect - not so often seen- British made Middle East Commando shoulder title

This is a perfect example of a British Middle East Commando shoulder title. Middle East Commando was a battalion sized British Commando unit of the British Army during the Second World War. The Commando was formed in the Middle East in October 1941 from L Detachment, Special Air Service, the remnants of Layforce (No.3 Troop) and No. 51 Middle East Commando and the Special Boat Section partly to placate Winston Churchill who championed the commando idea. In December 1940 a Middle East Commando depot was formed with the responsibility of training and supplying reinforcements for the Commando units in the Middle East. The Middle East Commando was disbanded in 1942. This example has some small moth damage (see photo) just above the letter O and there for is priced accordingly.
