Royal Devon Yeomanry Artillery
Are my eyes deceiving me or could the visible section of this shoulder title read R.D.Y............(as in R.D.Y. ARTILLERY). The officer whose BD blouse this is was wearing an RDY badge in his beret.

It looks like a creased up ROYAL to me. As there is something after what you see as a D.

The Royal North Devon Yeomanry mobilised as Artillery in 1939 (RHA I think) Could this have any connection ?

Thanks to all. Consensus of opinion has it that it's a boring ROYAL ARTILLERY title - creased. I was led astray by the 1945 vintage officers' rank slides seen in the Malaysian Military Museum - olive green with R.D.Y.A in black.
