Can't seem to find a listing for an "LS" shoulder title, either.

The lower piece, of course, is a badge of the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment.

The shoulder flash might belong to either the Liverpool Scottish Regiment (The Kings) or the London Scottish.
Here's a pic of the crest of The Kings from my Dad's badge collection and another of the London Regiment. Cheers, Mike

Agreed, Trikikiwi! Those are the two most likely attributions.

A third possibility is the Lovat Scouts.

I think you got it - Lovat Scouts. I have found two of there buttons in the same field.

Ah, well... these accidents will happen!

Kia Ora,
Well done once again PBK.
I hadn't thought of them.

I googled the Scouts and it reminded me of where I'd heard of them.

I like their motto,
Je Suis Prest - I Am Ready

Cheers, Mike

You do have to wonder whether the Regiments chaplain had a sense of humour and changed his badge to read 'Je Suis Priest'
