A superb early war time (regrettably single) embroided British made Rough Riders shoulder title

This is a great example of a superb early war time embroided shoulder title to the Rough Riders. The Rough Riders started out as 283 Light Anti-Aircraft Battery (City of London Yeomanry) TA and became 1st Air-landing Anti-Aircraft Battery in 1942. What info I have is that 283rd Light Anti-Aircraft Battery RA joined 1st Airborne Division on 03.12.1942 and became 1st Airlanding Light Anti-Aircraft Battery RA till 21.02.1944 when it was dispanded. They did wear the light blue on purple title all through there 2 year time with the Division. 1st A-L LAA Battery did go with 1st Airborne Division to North Africa, but were not deployed in action as such.
