I have been conversing with the school and they have sent some rather interesting photos that show the 7th A&SH badge in use in 1915 and worn in the hat and on the sporran.
The OTC wore the cadet badge until at least 1918. From 1908-18 the school OTC was actually Dollar Institution OTC and wore a s/t with that name on. It became an Academy in 1918 and that was when the shield design with DA on it was designed. I did wonder whether the oTc wore the A&SH regular battalion badge 1908-18 but the school archives show otherwise and it was the cadet badge.
