LUOTC and M&SUOTC`s, why the difference ?
Both Liverpool University OTC and Manchester and Salford Universities OTC were affiliated to the Kings Regiment yet in Hodges " British Army Badges " on page 436, a cadet of the Manchester and Salford unit is wearing a non Royal Regiment No.2 dress cap ( i.e. without the red band ).
Cadets in the Liverpool unit wore a Royal Regiment cap in No.2 dress ( a females version is pictured ).
Both units wear/ wore a red backing on their beret badges reflecting their affiliations to The Kings Regiment, I wonder why there was a difference in their No.2 dress caps ?
P.B.
