Default Shoulder title mystery
Someone had kindly enhanced & enlarged a shoulder title, which is the only clue I have to identify this unknown soldier, who received the MM and died in 1918.Is anyone able to provide any insight ? The last letter could possibly be an A or H.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Looks like a SH at the end so A&SH - Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. Maybe?

I agree the second last letter is "S" but the last looks (to me) like a "B", so "KOSB"? Did they wear such titles?
