Default Battersea Cadet Corps

Finally got one of these at last! Took 5 years to find one.

This photo is from 1932 during the 1930-2 ban on cadets wearing regular badges. I don't know if it was worn outside this period.

Always more satisfying after such a long search.

Well done.

Many thanks. I was unaware they wore them that's late so a dated photo is superb.

The was also Walter St Johns GS Battersea that was a separate school and whose badge is a different design. The 2 schools are often confused.
