Dave,
RGA? Having said that, I have no idea what a Royal Garrison Artillery shoulder title is supposed to look like! Has it been enhanced/'sharpened' so we would be looking at what Photoshop (for example) thinks it is (which can sometimes be misleading) rather than what was originally on the print.

No, it's not enhanced. It's exactly as it was sent to me.

I'd say it's a 3 letter , the first letter 'R' and the last letter is circular such as a 'C' or 'G' - RFC, RHG
