Default SOE 'England' shoulder title

Would be interested to know if anyone has information on the use of this 'England' shoulder title, attributed to use by Special Operations Executive.

Any insights welcome!

These photos are of W Stanley Moss MC wearing an ENGLAND title.

Moss is best remembered for the SOE operation to capture of General Heinrich Kreipe on Crete and abduct him to Egypt in April and May 1944
