The titles are very interesting and I believe stand for National Reserve. The National Reserve was a register of ex officers and men for home military service during WWI. According to Ray Westlake's book (Collecting Metal Shoulder Titles 1980), the titles were rarely worn by the men. Regarding the KD shirt, I can not make the writing, can you see a manufactures mark? That should quickly tell us where it was made. Cheers

The stamping is very indestinct
