Default Shoulder Title

This is unusual (to a Pom) because of its quality and colouring. I would appreciate any ideas as to its period and the possible wearer.
Many thanks
Mike

Hi Mike.

Sorry, but I've got my silly head on.

Probably worn by an Australian.

Hope someone wiser than me can give you the right answers.
Regards
Brian

ACI 7 of 1944 authorised a shoulder designation of AUSTRALIA in Pale Buff on khaki for wear by Auxiliary Territorial Service, Foreign Nationals.

If you do not want it I will gladly look after it for you.
