Default Green South Wales Borderers Shoulder Titles

Hi all. I have come across these shoulder titles but although I have tried I have not been able to find anything out about them. I am just wondering roughly when they were used. They are printed and quite stiff. I cannot see any sign of them having been stitched to a uniform. Any help on these would be great. Cheers.

Sorry to say that they are fake examples of the designation worn by the 2nd Bn SWB.

Thanks for the reply Marc. That's a shame, but at least they were cheap. Cheers.

Do you know why there seems to be a red and a green South Wales Borderers shoulder tie? I’ve seen both being mention as worn during WW1 but don’t know the reason for the different colours.

Was it red in the First World War?
