Thank you for that. I have been unable to find a photo of the OTC to date it for sure but your confimation is proof. I have moved the w/m one into my CCF album and will update my K&K corrections. I appreciate your help. Alan |

Not sure if this will help you or confuse matters Alan, but see attached pics, looks like both badges being worn along with Aldenham School OTC titles, not the best quality but I have cropped a couple for you, I'm not much good at dating uniforms but the Lt Col is wearing his ribbons which look like WW1 & coronation 1911, let me know if you want more,

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.

West Somerset County School OTC
West Somerset County School OTC became Wellington School Somerset OTC in 1914.
The School Cadet Corps can be seen here wearing SLI VB collar badges in their caps and the officers are wearing full sized Bx SLI cap bagdes: The Wellington badge has that title on it so unless the school was operating with 2 names it is unlikley to be that one. There was a West Somerset County OTC Shoulder title. http://www.oldwellingtonians.co.uk/f...aspx?S=kp8rg69 My assumption is that on the creation of the OTC in 1908 the Cadet Corps continued their association with the SLI and continued to wear SLI TF badges. I suspect this was initially still on side caps so collar badges would have continued to be worn. Last edited by Alan O; 08-02-17 at 09:25 AM. |

Wrekin College/ Wellington College Salop

https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/...ge-1935-online I am afraid the third badge that Hugh King shows is not an OTC badge. It is not the Wrekin lion. The foot has a flat edge from where the torse has been snipped off and the pointed tuft of chest mane is not found on Wrekin badges. Afternote: Dave has identified it a Denbigh police https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...1&d=1694771567 Last edited by Alan O; 15-09-23 at 10:18 AM. |

- Hulme Lion with cadet corps - worn from the cadet corps' founding in 1915. - Then the OTC badge/s (K&K 2577) and the HGS/OTC version - Then the single lion head nothing to do with the school cadets. Thoughts? Having gone through old copies of the School Magazine I have found an article in the 1938 edition that states that Hulme's Cadet Corps was elevated to OTC status in 1935. The 1935 date is also here https://www.whgs-academy.org/Portals...BLQ20Heg%3D%3D Last edited by Alan O; 20-04-22 at 07:10 PM. |

K&K 2715 Windsor Grammar School CCF
Windsor Grammar School CCF wore the Royal Berkshire China Dragon as they had done as a cadet corps pre 1948. The identity of K&K's #2715 is unknown but it is not the school badge so is likely to be a livery or town badge rather than the GS,

My cousin is unsure of the ST in use in his day. He thought Windsor CCF. I can make out Windsor then a letter that could be C or perhaps G. Title might be long enough for GS CCF. School has changed its name slightly over the years so badges might not match period of school name. In my memory its always been Windsor Boys School. Regards, Paul.

This is the badge in question. It was sealed in 1955 for the Monmouthshire TA in gilding metal. By the time the School adopted the dragon cap badge in the 1960s, a/a would have been the norm. However there is no certainty whether the school wore g/m, a/a or both. They now wear cloth.

Monmouth
Hi Alan,
This badge as been previously covered on the forum , the badge was worn by the 2nd Mon in 1954 brass and A/A from 1965 . The Monmouth school were granted permission to wear the badge from 1968. So they would have only worn the A/A version unless they had a private purchased and bought a brass one. The school also had blue and yellow Beret badge introduced in the 80's. The school changed to Green and Yellow with the change to the Royal Welsh. Last edited by eddie; 26-12-20 at 08:15 PM. |

This account https://www.northwalshamarchive.co.u...-risebrow.aspx suggests that by the late 1940s as a CCF the school was back wearing the Royal Norfolk Britannia cap badge.. Last edited by Alan O; 26-03-18 at 05:54 PM. |
