Very nice collection. There are also a number of other a/a badges worn by the OTCs which could be included to expand the collection. These would include the Welsh Brigade and RRW worn by Cardiff UOTC prior to their own dragon badge and Wessex Brigade badge which was worn by Southampton and Exeter at their founding.

Thanks for the advice Alan. Maybe I'll add the Cardiff, Soton and Exeter badges, although these are already displayed, included on the main AA collection board, which sits on the wall next to the framed OTCs ...

All the best

There lies the rub of categorizing. It's like the RMLI badge. Should that be alongside the RM badge or with the Cadets as it was only for the Cadet band?

Good point and thanks, Peter! Absent minded oversight; Liverpool to be added at next update.

Hi William,

Some pretty rare items on show!

I have a feeling that you now have probably the most complete collection of A/A cap badges out there!

Regards,

Chris

Wow! Thanks Chris - it would be quite a claim and I've been grateful for your considerable input.

As it looks like I am home for the next three months, am also available for interested visitors.

All the best and thanks again for yr generous comment.

William
