Default Fusileers Shoulder Title ID?

Hi Gents,

Can I ask those with an 'eye' and experience to identify this Great War Motor Cyclist's unit for me.

The should title appears to start with 'N' and finish with 'F'.

Cheers,

Roy

Looks like NF, but I'm unsure, looking at the cap badge too, it could be MF.
Edit - I'll go for NF.

Thanks Gents,

I think that has nailed it. Always grand to get some good opinions.

Cheers,

Roy
