Can you help me identify this WW1 Shoulder Title. On th original photo you are able to see a metal Shoulder Title with a T below which is a 16 and then writing.

I cannot make the title out but few Regiments had Territorial battalions with the number 16 ( th), the London Regiment is the only one that springs immediately to mind
P.B.

"T" title
This is the 16th Btn Essex Regt, who wore the title T/16/ESSEX, Formed January 1917, disbanded December 1917. A short lived unit and a scarce shoulder title.

Shoulder Title
The Shoulder Title in question is that of my great uncle who in 1914 lived in Wandsworth and was in the Emanuel School (Battersea) O.T.C. The photo mentioned is dated 1917 and does not look like the word London under a magnifying glass.
I have just learned that the School was affiliated to the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, the Regiment in which his older brother was killed during 1916. Does this information help, many thanks. Charles 755

"t/16"
Does Essex fit? The date 1917 does.

"t/16"
No Essex is to shorter word. This Regiment seems to be more that six letters.

Thanks 8thFoot
Is 16th Queens Westminster Rifles the top right shoulder tile. Am I correct in saying that it reads T 16 County Of London? Will have to check with photo. Charles 755

The title is blackened and the buttons are black bone of 'Rifles' pattern. I believe it to be 16th Londons (Queen's Westminster Rifles').
