A.V.L.H. shoulder title is indeed for the Assam Valley Light Horse. The F/S is the 202nd (Assam) L. of C. Area. They are usually square not circular.

They may be, there are an awful lot of them around and they are one of the easiest formation signs to fake. All you need is a sewing machine, some K.D. material, some Humbrol matt paint and some home made stencils.
