Bishop Vesey's Grammar Sch (Sutton Coalfield) _ RWarcs Christ College Brecon - SWB Grimsby Municipal College Own OTC design then later on Lincolnshire regt Kings College (Rochester) - K&K 2600 LLandovery College - SWB Sherborne School (Dorset) _ Dorsetshires West Buckland Sch (Barnstaple) Devonshires Last edited by Alan O; 02-06-14 at 08:16 AM. |

K&K Missing OTC
Grimsby OTC had their own badge. If I can unpack mine later I'l scan it. Likewise, Gt Yarmouth and Cadet Norfolk Artillery both had their own but are not pictured.
A mystery to me is a badge that someone paid a fortune for at Bosley's: Lincoln School Cadet Corps. I have never found a record of a school by that name. Stephen. |

Alan,Bishop Veseys wore their own cap badge.
If you are looking for an image,there is a man i know who did have a cap badge,he may still have it as he did serve in the otc there. |

Grimsby OTC
Finally I found one I just received this badge.
It is Grimsby OTC and described as Grimsby School in K&K. I suspect that the school and Grimsby Municipal College in the 1911 PQ is one and the same. The college later became Wintringham Grammar School. I have only ever seen one of these before so it was a good find. Last edited by Alan O; 02-02-19 at 10:27 AM. |

Llladovery College
A picture from the Old Llandoverians which clearly shows the SWB cap badge in use by the School cadets. The School is in Carmarthenshire so SWB was the local regt.

Bishop Vesey's
Dix Noonan auctions recently sold a collection of OTC badges and matching S/Ts. The Bishop Vesy's S/T was paired with a RWarcs cap badge.
However by 1940 (OTC now dissolved in favour of JTCs) Bishop Vesey's Grammar School Cadet Corps is affiliated to the Royal Artillery according to the Army list of that year. Last edited by Alan O; 02-06-14 at 08:33 AM. |

The list so far of OTCs that are absent from K&K are:
Bradford Grammar School. As yet I cannot confirm the date of use. Haileybury School Junior Cadets Oakham School OTC first pattern cap badge 1910-28. Royal Naval School Eltham which closed in 1910. St. Edward's School Oxford - 2 versions exist that predate the one shown in K&K Worksop OTC - shield version badge. Last edited by Alan O; 20-04-24 at 04:50 PM. |

That badge is for Grimsby Municipal Tramways. Looking at Bosleys' one here http://www.mycommissionbid.com/bid/viewitem.php?id=307 it also matches the tramways badge shown and the one on the conductors' caps. You can see the photos of it in use the by tram conductors here: http://tramwaybadgesandbuttons.com/p...4/page204.html Last edited by Alan O; 01-02-19 at 11:54 AM. |
