Kings own Royal Captain ?
I think this is a captain of the Kings Own Royal, but there is no wording under cap or collar badges. Is this because he is an officer? Or could he be a university School? He seems to have Weymouth links as the reverse of the card gives a list of names of Weymouth secondary pupils who paid the ultimate price. Perhaps he was a school master. Forgot to add he has a letter 'C' under his collar badge.

I think it was in 1936 that OSD badges "lost" the lettering, one reason for justifying the removal of the lettering being that at that time Othrr Ranks collar badges didn't have it.

I didn't notice the "C" (thought it was an eyelet).
Cadet unit then?

No it was not an OTC badge . The officer presumably has previous service with the Kings Own or Leics TA and kept the badges but with the C for cadet on the lapels. - no I am wrong - see post below.
