St.A.S.C.C. ???
Black lettering on dark brown. See attached unfortunately upside down photo. I've spent ages trying variations of meanings but not located one yet. Came with other ACF, CCF and Navy badges.
Grateful for a positive I.D. Ian H20190429_123120.jpg |

Title
How about 'Saint 'A' School Cadet Corps'
'A' might be: St Albans (but I'm not aware of their using such a title) St Aiden's - Harrogate St Aloysius (except they were a college) St Andrews- Dublin (except they were a college) St Andrews School- Bradford Stephen.

Surely a Sea Cadet Corps would be white on blue or blue on white, not khaki? Is it not maybe "St A School Cadets Corps" rather?
Cheers, Alex |

I received this from a friend _ "It is one of the shoulder titles worn by the St. Alban's School Cadet Corps, there are a couple of shoulder titles and an arm badge, worn by this school"

St. Aubyn's School
Please can anyone provide more history of this Corps. I've collected Essex bits for years and this unit seem to have slipped beneath my radar!
Stephen. PS. Just found a brief entry on the Wayback Machine together with au undated photo of the Corps Commander wearing the above title. Sorry but quality is poor! They appear to be badged to Queen's Regt at that time.

Only a typo I know - Princess of Wales's rather than Queens Regiment (formed 1992).

The forum at its best. An unidentifiedcloth badge is shown and within days is not only identified as a second pattern St Aubyns School Cadet Corps title, but also its location, in Essex, it's parent cap badge, PWRR and a photo of it being worn by an officer. I will also admit to being surprised at the fact that it is 1 of only 2 schools that runs its own cadet force for prep school pupils (3-13 ?) I remember the strict rule in the 70's that cadets had to be 13 yrs 9 months.
Thanks again to all involved in solving the mystery. Just wondering now, if it's one of two according to some search engines, who the other one might be? Ian H |

Not apparently aligned to a school but independent and accepting 6 year olds is the Frimley and Camberley Cadet Corps http://www.cadetcorps.org.uk/
A PWRR connection but was QUEEN'S as in this old title. Tim
