Default City/County of London Regt cadet badges

I either own or have seen the following bespoke Cadet cap badge designs:

1st-4th City of London cadets
5th City of London Cadets
9th County of London Cadets (later 1st Cadet Bn KRRC)
10th County of London Cadets
19th (St Pancras) County of London Cadets
21st County of London Cadets


Has anyone any other Bn cap badges?

Ta

Alan

Alan, I have a shoulder title to 23rd, it is oval, with CADETS across the top; LONDON REGT across the bottom and 23 BN through the middle, voided above and below 23 BN.

Unfortunately, my laptop is causing me all manner of headaches and heart aches at the moment, it won't allow me to upload or download any pictures.

Extremely frustrating because there are several which I would like to add to my albums.

Just as soon as I replace it or it decides to start working, I will attempt to post a picture.

If I remember correctly, I have seen a picture somewhere of a C above 12 over London shoulder title somewhere.

Regards

Brian

I was talking about cap badges and have amended my post. Westlake records several s/ts for the London Cadets but no one has ever listed the cap badges to my knowledge.

This was worn by the 21st London's cadet Battalion in 1913. I suspect for only a couple of years.

Alan.

Understood.

The only example I have is to the 19th, a very scarce item.

The only other cadet badge I have seen is 5th, but now you have set me on the road to sourcing those known and endeavour to find others unknown to you.

Regards.

Come on England.

Ebay is full of fakes. I would only ever buy one with a voided centre and a voided 'cadets' scroll

I’ve seen Polytechnic School, Hackney and Lewisham Cadets, whether these are badges worn by London Regiment affiliated Corps I don’t know. Pretty much every London Regt Battn. has a Cadets shoulder title though.

Edit. St. Pancras Cadets also.
