Thanks Tony,

I must have been the September intake before you, and I remember the intake prior to mine wore Regimental badges, perhaps someone will be able to give an exact year for the switch.

Simon.

Same poster as post #1 this taken by myself from the 'Centre Spread' of the TV Times the Halfords advert on the back, takes the date back to 1976.

Hi Tony,
Just looked at the Army recruiting brochure my picture came from and its dated January 1976, though I didn't get it until an army recruiting team came to my army cadet unit in late 1978, which is the time frame I'm looking at building the display for.

Cheers

Tony
