Any help anyone can provide would be gratefully accepted.

Again Brian Davis p. 109; Gordon Highlanders wore a narrow curved strip of Gordon tartan 7in in length (with a central horizontal yellow line) sewn directly below and in line with the shoulder seam. Just like a shoulder title, except longer.
Never seen anything like embroidered/worsted/printed flash with lettering.

Rgds,
