ACF, CCF and UOTC Medical Related

[Home Guard]

I have been trying to determine which programs in these school units are army, navy or air force medical connected. I know of a few thanks to members and have started collecting badges and patches for such units. My research so far has not be productive. Does anyone know or possibly have a list of such units so that I can continue to add ot this tangent of my medical interests?

Thanks,

Terry

There are NO ACF or CCF units affiliated to any other part of the Army Medical Services (AMS) (i.e RAVC, RADC or QARANC).

No OTC units are affiliated to the Army Medical Services.

No RAF or Naval Cadet units have a Medical unit affiliation.

Fun fact......I know for certain that all the cadets of Caistor Yarborough Detachment of Lincolnshire ACF wear OFFICERS pattern silver gilt cap badges on a dull cherry backing on their berets. They only realised that the cadets had been issued officers badges when I pointed it out....the QMs department had ordered the badges using the incorrect NSN (they had meant to order standard other ranks anodised badges)... rather than return the badges and demanding the correct pattern they have simply continued issuing officer pattern badges until stocks have been exhausted !)
