Never seen an original Rydal OTC cap badge but have still got one of their buttons. Don't think Cadets were reformed after 1935 but i believe they formed an ATC Squadron during WW2. Reason for disbandment in 1935 was the very small number of officer candidates they provided for the TA and SR during their short life. Regards, Andrew.

The lack of Officer candiates is reflected in the fact that all of the school old-boys KIA in WW1 were ORs.
