Awesome collection Chris, Thanks for showing.

You may want to add 'Motor Transport Training Corps' to your wants list. Same button as the MTC but with MTTC above.

Rob,

they are between 24 - 26 mm, predominantly 25mm. One day I will get around to the back marks due the way they are mounted and the vagaries of uploading chronologically.

Just a note, the GSC was formed in 1942 so the QVC version is not from that, it being the general service pattern etc, but not General Service Corps or General List even.

Army Ordnance Corps (Other Ranks) also wore the 'Royal Arms' General Service Button - Only the Army Ordnance Department (Officers) wore an Ordnance button until the merger into the Royal Army Ordnance Corps in 1918

The Ordnance button with bottom scroll is in fact Indian Army Ordnance Corps.

I am away at the moment, but will look in my spares box re AOD button next week

You have included the Royal Military Academy.
What about The Duke of York's Royal Military School?

Btns, I have not included it as DYRMS was not Army but Army-run. The pupils were Cadet Force.

I must admit I should as an ex Dukie pick up a collection of buttons.
