Alan,
Just had a look at the scan image on my phone. Photographer is MORA Ltd. A quick search shows the company active from 1901 into 1910's.

They had 3 Brighton Studios :

.....which became known as Mora Ltd. and by 1902 was operating in tandem with a branch studio that opened at 45a London Road.

By 1908 a third studio calling itself Mora Ltd. began operating at 81a St James Street. This lasted only until about 1913, but its two predecessors survived long into the inter-war period. The London Road studio closed in about 1933, but the original Western Road studio was still operating in 1936-37.

Many thanks. So anytime between 1908-38 so that does not exclude either the Cadet Battalion or Brighton College.

For anyone interested, each of these areas were the main shopping areas of the town. London Road is just that and a main arterial route into Brighton from the north. Western Road is still a prominent shopping street leading west to Hove. St James's St leads from the Old Steine east into Kemp Town.

Brighton College's cost of arms was granted in 1920 so the bespoke OTC badge must post date that date.
