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/
