Saint David's college school Lampeter

[49lassiepen]

Couple of items that I was watching out of interest The above school was an intermediate school attached to Lampeter college .The school was formed in stables and coach house in the college grounds classes began in 1884 and finishes 1945
the 2 items were h m s medals to the drill squad 1903 , 1904 , My note say that the 0 T C'S were formed in 1908 -may be incorrect ,so I assumed these items were associated with volunteers or the Welsh regiment
I did e mail 1 member regarding these ,don't know if a member purchased them
1903 sold for £7.50
1904 sold for £ 11.50
Both cheap for what they were
Lampeter was not far from were I lived and my wife attended the university in late 1960's

This would have been a school cadet corps. It was not elevated to OTC status so would have remained a cadet corps until the ACF were formed in 1940. A lot of cadet corps disappeared post WW1 and with the removal of official funding from all cadet corps (but not OTCs) in 1930.

Picky I know but the ACF was actually formed in 1942 not 1940…..
