This may be of interest (I was searching for another thread showing some insignia I have, couldn't find it but found this one).

Could it be North Midland Field Ambulance?

There was one in the RAMC.

Jerry,

I agree with Mick. They certainly had a metal WWI title.

Unofficial shoulder title of 137th (North Midland) Field Ambulance serving in 24th Guards Independent Infantry Brigade Group 1940-42 and again when it rejoined the 24th Guards Brigade after it again became a Brigade Group in 1944, continuing to be worn when 24th Guards Brigade joined 56th Division in March 1945.

("Badges on Battledress" by Jon Mills, illustration no.1062).

Thanks all, for the ID. I wondered if it was North Midland along with other combinations of NM
Just brought to add to my collection.

Apologies, in my earlier post I should've specified that the thread I was searching for was one relating to this shoulder title and typed 137th (North Midland) Field ambulance instead of just posting a link to the unit ID.

There is a bit more info. in "Badges on Battledress" re. this title, I'll add it to this thread.
