Default Brockville OTC

The location of the Brockville OTC is now a housing subdivision, the location of the wartime camp was near where the north-south railroad leaving Brockville passes under the 401.

The cadre for this camp was drawn from all Arms, the camp even contained an RCE wing which moved to Petawawa in 1944. Within the camp there was also a wing for training Russian Officers.

White badge backing and white formation style signs for OTC Cadets were very popular during WWII so the original image that Bill posted was interesting to see with the white markings on the sun helmets.

During WWII, KD was authorized for wear in Canada from May until September.
