All I can say at the moment is that it seems to start with 'G' and end with 'son'.

It's a difficult one and I may be wrong about even that attempt!

I'm wondering if it's Watkinson, preceded by either Geo or G and another initial. (Or possibly Matkinson, though that's a lot rarer.)

FreeBMD throws up just 1 of that name.. a female.
Possibly just Atkinson with 3 initials.
Not particularly relevant but just wondering what's going on
with his posting.
18th. Supply column was an ASC operation.
The 3/5th. KLR was a Reserve Btn. based in Oswestry pretty
much for the entire war.
Temporary secondment perhaps.

Geo Watkinson

That signature reminded me of the time our bank asked my late husband (initials BWM) to change his full signature which had deteriorated to  three or four ovals.

It is the 18th Supernumerary Company of the 5th Bn KLT [TF]
These were the companies formed to guard vulnerable points [bridges etc] and also guard PoW's. These Coys went to form the Royal Defence Corps when that was formed around April 1916.

The location for this one, the Isle of Man*, suggests the 18th Supernumerary Coy, 5th Bn KLR was a PoW guard unit.
