Is this not a wartime title for a Junior Training Corps (ie school) cadet unit.

Edinburgh Academy possibly?

Or 'East Anglia' JTC, perhaps. Probably more likely than East Africa, if found in the UK.

From the "Edinburgh Academy Chronicle" (1940 Volume No.48 Issue No.1)

Quote:
The Officers' Training Corps is now known as the Junior Training Corps.

THE HOME GUARD
E.A. J.T.C. continues to furnish a section in the Home Guard.
