Morning all, Thanks for the images Jo. I have seen those pics before. I have never come across a cut down printed title for the A&SH. Images are a quite tricky when it comes to establishing the fabric, and the type worn by RSM McGilnay appears to be a melton pattern. Compare with the A&SH titles from my collection. The ones in the t shape are all melton or starch back. The "t" shaped titles were more wasteful and more complicated to produce, making them a bit more costly. The arch shaped were simple to make, wasted less material and less expensive.
