Further exploration shows my man to have attended RMC (noted in December 1938 as being very weak and lacking in life, surly, unpopular, a very poor shot, lacking concentration at weapons training and drill, slow in absorbing instruction, arrived with a grievance against life - but if he concentrated on being a 1st class cadet he may make a good officer).
So my cap appears to be RMC, not RMA although he appears to be in the RA by 1941.
