Default Mystery Arabic (UAE?) shoulder title
I picked up several of these AA shoulder titles from a dealers ‘button box’ yesterday, I think they might be from the United Arab Emirates but would appreciate any help in confirming that and identifying the unit/s that wore them.

Many thanks

Graham

The final part of the text reads Abu Dhabi.

And the first bit reads quwat defiyea = Defence Force so the whole is Abu Dhabi Defence Force. Simples.
