Well, it’s great to see the badges in the post 1. They are certainly warranted as a part of the forum and I’m glad that someone has “re-opened” this thread.
Not that I collect OTC or Cadet stuff excepting that I do have the Ridley College hat and two collars, plus cloth shoulder titles to “St.Catharines Collegiate” Cadet Corps, (The present day 68 R.C.A.C.C.).
As a Hosting Family for the International Air Cadet Exchange program for over 20 years, I also have a number of British and Foreign Air Cadet flashes, shoulder titles buttons and Badges. I keep them as mementos as I only really collect Artillery badges, buttons etc. One point, I would have liked to have seen the names of the cadet corps badges that are shown. And I DID note the two styles of Ridley College that you have. Thank you for sharing and I hope your letter moves others to respond. Best regards, David J.
