Default Odd OTC Shoulder Title Badge

Dear Forum,

I was hoping somebody could help identify where this one is from, and when it was in use?

Many thanks

Paul

It is for Felsted School:

http://www.felsted.org/

It was certainly being worn in 1938 according to Ernest Martin`s article on Badges of the Officers Training Corps. The cap badge is described as " the school arms, with a scroll with the word Felsted "

P.B.

God those kind of crimes against accepted dress codes give CCF units a bad name. No1 dress blues with a khaki beret ? even worse an RAF beret being worn with army No1 dress blues !!!!!
Makes my contingent look like guardsmen !
