It is the shoulder title worn by the staff at the Commando Depot, Achnacarry, which later became known as the Commando Basic Training Centre. A view of it being worn is in the album dedicated to Stanley 'Sonny' Bissell here: https://gallery.commandoveterans.org/cdoGallery/v/Commando+Training/Bissell/

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
