Hi there,

Would need your lights please on this pic, taken by a London photographer, on 22 Jan 1944 (stamp on the back), showing what I suspect to be an identified sea cadet, right before he volunteered to RN on 26 Jan 1944, at the age of 17 (I have his service records). He then served until 1947 as a RN air mechanics.

This young Bert was from Lambeth, county of London.

As I am totally green on sea cadets topic, would anyone know please what this “SCC” arm badge, above the anchor stands for? I guess maybe a specific Sea Cadet section? Also this young man wears a chevron below this anchor. Does this mean that Sea Scouts applied the same practice as done in RN (good conduct badge)?

Note to the administrators: not sure I am in the right section, but wasn’t sure where to post this.

Thanks & Best Regards,

JD
