I've just found this written on another page. It doesn't add much but there is added lettering at the bottom which looks like 'in the field'.

I agree with 'in the field', and since the T of 'the' is the same as the first letter of the  unknown word, I think that strengthens ikas's suggestion that it's short for tunnelling.

Thanks all for your input, the wonderful expertise on here never ceases to amaze me. I'm going to go along with the Canadian Tunnelling Company as the most likely answer.

You might want to consider posting on a WW1 forum. Those with experience of WW1 research might be able to confirm or suggest other possibilities. There is one on here but not sure if mods allow duplicate posts. The Great War Forum has helped me in the past. https://www.greatwarforum.org/
