OTC or cadet corps?
There is a subtle difference. 1940 Army List has it as a Cadet Corps which would explain why it is not in K&K's chapter on OTCs. They were RA affiliated in 1940. Last edited by Alan O; 01-05-14 at 02:30 PM. |

If someone has a copy of Rawlings it is ref 110. It may shed light if it is OTC or Cadets. (I have logged mine as OTC, but confess I didn't research it). Mark |

Hi Alan,
I have had a look through my copy of Rawlings book and your badge is illustrated as #99 A S (I assume ARNOLD SCHOOL?), but doesn't state OTC or otherwise. #96 ARNOLD HOUSE SCHOOL (LOYAL REGT), but I can see no illustration. #97 and #98 mention ARNOLD SCHOOL / CCF cloth shoulder titles, but again no images. I hope this is of some help, Andy |

Went for £80 so wait for its reappearance on a dealer's website sometime soon no doubt.

In WW1 the school was known as Arnold House School and the badge had AH in it.The badge in post 1 is missing the H so post dates the war memorial and the school was still AHS in 1923 for certain. However it's possible that the H has been removed for the die so I am no clearer as to whether this was 1930s or 1950s but I am leaning towards post WW2 and CCF. https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...ctureid=186821 Last edited by Alan O; 12-04-21 at 06:54 PM. |

And here is Arnold House School Cadet Corps in 1936 when it was affiliated to the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment before the switch to the RA c. 1940. |
