Default Battledress Cadet Force

I also recently bougth this p40 battledress with cadet force badges. The title says cadet force. Which means army cadet school. The lower one supposely is from a scottish clan. Does someone know which clan and which school? The medal bar isn't complete. There is a shadow of another bar above is one.

Very nice and unusual battledress.

The Cadet Force title indicates the Army Cadet Force. The badge is that of the Dumbarton Army Cadet Force. The medal ribbons indicate that the battledress was worn post-war.

Thank you very much. The label in the battledress in dated 1943 and sizes 9. I was intrigued by it. Never seen a cadet froce before, a nice addition to the battledress collection.

A very nice item, these battledress blouses are becoming very scarce. I wonder if it might have belonged to A.McInnes, his entry in the September 1964 Army List is attached. Probably not as the rank crowns are kings crowns but you never know.

P.B.

He was also a Special Constable ... looking at his medal ribbons.

I was offered this one some time ago, the collars were pre 1926 and I was not sure what else might not have been right.
