Westminster Cadet badges
If anyone has a copy of Rawlings or Cox, would they be kind enough to check if this is actually the badge of the Westminster City School OTC please.
It's pretty ugly being cast nickel and the loops don't look right. K&K isn't much help as they have WCS in the text but the badge illustrated is actually Westminster School which is the public school down the road in the abbey.
It's the badge we wore on our blazer when I was a pupil at WCS in the early 1970's. The CCF was affiliated to the London Scottish, wore the badge of the Highland Brigade and drilled at the RGJ in Fulham High Street, I was never a member as I was in the Scouts at the time although I did attend a couple of recruiting nights. The CCF was wound up in my last year in 1977.
Thanks.
