Gold wire embroidered on khaki. Seen for sale recently on eBay. Who would have worn this shoulder title?

I saw this on eBay also and wondered who it was worn by, but could be completely wrong in saying ATS Officer from NI and private purchase??????

NORTHERN IRELAND Cloth Title
 
The front looks great, the rear photo is very untidy IMO, could be very modern.

NORTHERN IRELAND title
 
Hi Danny, Could be wrong but look at the NEWFOUNDLAND and CHILE
titles in Robins auction, they look like a match. ATA Air Transport Auxiliary nationality titles WW2 era.

Country titles like these were largely unofficial and there is little evidence of them being worn except in the ATS where a range of them were authorised for wear. They were widely available for those who chose to buy and wear them.

Conscription was not enacted in Northern Ireland so all servicemen and women from there were volunteers and some understandably would like to show that they had volunteered. The khaki backing ang gold wire embroidery would suggest it was intended to be worn by an officer.
