Andy closer pics and shots of the backs would help but from the picture you have provided most appear on first inspection to be OK.

All the titles look good to me and without consulting Westlake's book on titles and dates worn would say they were all worn roughly between 1914 and 1960.

The large ACC is IMO Army Cyclists Corps worn between 1915 and 1919 and the smaller ACC is Army Catering Corps worn post 1941.

I hope this helps.

my late father served with the Army Catering Corps, he assured me that all ACC titles related to the Army Catering Corps and that the Army Cyclist Corps wore titles worded "Cyclist" and that these were curved

PL,
Somewhere a while back this was discussed on a thread with the final throw being a pic of a cyclist wearing "ACC". The thread was one I started called "Cooks or Cyclists"

I bought a whole lot of titles which included T/CYCLISTS, CYCLISTS (with "T" removed, CYCLIST and the large "ACC" which was as I suspected worn by the cyclists.

Have a look at the thread because "unknown soldier" provided a superb picture and proved beyond doubt to me that they were worn. Probably when the Army Catering Corps were formed in 1941 they were issued ACC from old stocks of Cyclists titles.

I hope this helps.
