Alan,
You are correct with the QWR connection but not just pre 1908, I have been lucky enough to have been in contact with a man whose grandfather was head boy in 1915, he was in the school cadet corps and was there 4 years, the gentleman was kind enough to send me a scan of his cap badge to keep for my records, it is a bronzed QWR collar but on a slider. Photo attached for you. I have a bronze collar with a brooch fitting which I now take to be the school cadet corps badge, no other fixings seem to have ever been present, I will scan it and attach later.
Steve
