I am absolutely certain that the school wore the first pattern round OTC badge as a cap and as a sporran badge. In 1937 they had adopted the Cameronians bonnet badge which they wore alongside the...

Just re-looking at this one. I have a theory (unsubstantiated) that K&K not only has the wrong school named but has the wrong sequence. I suspect that the order of use should be:

Those are the smaller scrolless badge. the w/m ones are almost twice the size. The offrs have Bronze ones whilst the cadets have polished brass I think.

Aldenham School OTC

Can anyone confirm which badge the OTC wore?

I suspect the brass one is the OTC one as the OTC button is the same design without the Gods Gift scroll?

Bancroft's School

The CCF does not seem to have ever been an OTC. The school now wears RANGLIAN badges. As far as I can ascertain the badge shown is CCF rather than OTC.
