Bank Top Cadets
I recently saw on ebay along with some other Army Apprentice insignia, a shoulder title 'BTC' which was wrongly described as 'Boy's Technical Collage.' The correct designation was 'Boy's Technical School' and I show a pic of the correct title. So what was 'BTC'? I have seen somewhere (can't remember where), that it stood for 'Bank Top Cadets.' There is little info to be found on t'internet, except possible connections with the Boys Brigade and maybe South Africa circa Boar War. Can anyone throw some light on this?

Keith Rawlings booklet on cadet insignia lists Bank Top Cadets Manchester having a cap badge, as pictured above, and a title 'B T C'. This is of course only a secondary source and should be treated as such.
