I acquired this shirt a few years ago but couldn't find any link between A& S H and 6 (UK) Division, so does anyone know better.?

Possibly worn during Operation Herrick XIII from November 2010 - April 2011.
5 SCOTS were monitoring the Afghanistan National Police.
6 (UK) Division were the Regional Command South.

From GOV.UK website :

Soldiers from The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland (5 SCOTS), worked alongside their partners from the 2nd Kandak of the Afghan Uniformed Police to conduct the ‘advance to contact’ - an operation to engage enemy fighters in an area known as Shindac Mandah, north of Patrol Base Attal in Lashkar Gah district.

I can't say I ever saw DPM worn on Herrick. Always deserts or MTP in my experience and I saw 4 x Herricks.

Possibly worn in UK prior to deployment?
