Anyone know what "OTS/MHOW" stands for?

Just added some temporary images to the OCB album, if anyone has any examples of the badges shown in the B&W images, I would be grateful if you would allow me to add them to the album.

Has the distinct look and shape of a coloured numeral of the Training Reserve of WWI, and therefore would imply the 8th Reserve Brigade.

ACI 2346.jpg

Better late than never - ACI 2346(not 2436) of 1916, which refers to the coloured numerals of the OCB. However the Training Reserve also wore coloured numerals of the shape shown in the earlier post.

I believe my old mate John Sheen has quite a number of group photo's of the OCB in WWI.

Default 1st CADET WR BATTALION
Does anyone recognise this? I've put it here but not sure which section it belongs in.
Assuming it's Welsh Reg but any information gratefully received.

Could the WR be Worcestershire Regiment ? It may not even be British ?
