Would I be correct in thinking this S/T says 'WELSH' ?

Peter,
Looks Welsh to me along with the cap badge.
Hwyl,

Thanks, Kevin.

I just couldn't make out that title properly. This regiment wouldn't have worn something other than 'WELSH', would it?

If he was a chaplain's assistant, it may say WYUNPD?

Yes I believe it is Welsh too, it is just the angle and reflection of light that makes it look odd.

Peter,
The 16th Battn wore Welch and we believe the 11th also did, both Cardiff units.
