Newfoundland title
An embroidered title named NEWFOUNDLAND, red on khaki backing is on offer on ebay. It is indeed a scarce title, because they didn't exist in the First World War. Unfortunately, the description is incorrect, as the Newfoundland First World War unit wore brass shoulder titles. The cloth title in this pattern was not worn until the Second World War era. My understanding is that the army units of Newfoundland wore the red / khaki titles, while the Newfoundlanders in the airforce wore the light blue on dark blue titles.

Newfoundland
Here are the three examples I have. 1 is very different from 2 and 3. 2 and 3 were once identical I think, but 2 is mint whilst 3 has been cut down and worn.

Nice examples of the Newfoundland titles. Thanks Mike.
The bottom two appear to be the same embroidery.
