Default Youth Training Brigade 1941 - 1946

Does anyone have any information about the wartime Youth Training Brigade, or a photo of a member in uniform? I am particularly interested to know if there was an air section or air training, or if it was general training and afterwards members joined all three services.

I'm sure I read in the past that boys joined at 15 and at 17 moved on to one of the three services, but recent research seems to indicate that it was purely military training with boys only going into the Army after turning 17.

Insignia on the cap and collars was a hand holding a flaming torch in bronzed metal, with woven cloth titles in yellow on green - 'Youth Brigade' in English on the right shoulder and Afrikaans on the left.

Thanks
