A rather interesting and comprehensive account of the conversion in 1908 and up to the Great War.

Page 100 lists all of the Junior Division Contingents.

Default Cadet Corps in the 1911 Army List

https://archive.org/stream/hartsannu...training+corps

This page lists the recognised Cadet Corps. Some are for junior boys in schools with OTCs as well. Others later became OTCs in the expansion of OTCs in the 1930s.

Default Army List

Alan,

Treat this list with caution. Cross-referencing with other sources would indicate that it could take many months for the List to be updated after a unit was formed/ disbanded or Establishment varied.

Stephen.

It is indeed out of date compared to the list on my OTC album of the same year.

There is at one OTC not mentioned in any other source so it is still useful

I recently came across this Hansard entry which dates the closure of 4 Junior Division OTCs in 1934-5:

'Instructions have been issued for the following contingents to be disbanded:—Bradford Grammar School, Northampton School, Reigate Grammar School, and Rydal School. These contingents are being disbanded because they have not, over a period of years, sufficiently fulfilled the purpose for which contingents are designed, that is, to supply officers for the Territorial Army and Supplementary Reserve in peace, and to build up a reserve of potential officers for use in emergency. They are being replaced.'

The 'new' Junior Division OTCs included:

- Christ College Brecon
- Llandovery College.
- Rutlish School
