SVLH title
I would think this title was worn up to the 1940's.

Thanks Fougasse on closer examination of the wording it is J.H.

Surma Valley Light Horse
The regiment was first raised as the 'Sylhet Volunteer Rifle Corps' on 22/10/1880. It was re-named the 'Cachar & Sylhet Mounted Rifles' on 06/04/1883 and the 'Surma Valley Light Horse' on 13/08/1886. It retained this title up to 14/08/1947 when all Auxiliary Force (India) units were disbanded on the eve of Indian independence.
