Unknown Brass M.R.A./D Brass Shoulder Title
 

Good Afternoon,

I recently acquired a large collection of almost exclusively CEF collar badges. Hidden away in that consignment was a 'mystery' shoulder title, images of which are shown here. It looks like it has been produced 'in the field' - note the attachments on the reverse that presumably served as lugs, along with the rubber washer that was used to retain the shoulder title in place on the uniform.

I have been led to believe this may be a South African Artillery shoulder title, hence the reason for placing this thread in the S. African section.

Does anyone have any knowledge of such a shoulder title being used by any S. African unit and, if so, which unit and when would it have been worn?

This is not an area that I collect so I may well consider moving it on if it can be established it has any 'kosher' military connection.

Many thanks in advance for any information that can be provided.

MYSTERY SOLVED
 

It would appear that this shoulder title is Boer War and stands for the Maritzburg Rifle Association "D" Company. Thank you "ResearchRescue" on the 'Anglo Boer War' website for this information :D.

Interesting, thanks for the follow up.
Cheers,
Alex
