Interesting, thanks for showing. I know Solomon J. Solomon military involvement only as a WWI camoufleur, involved amongst others with the hollowed out observation tree.

What an interesting thread.
How many VTCs had their own buttons? Rob. |

VTC uniform buttons were either plain or of the leather football pattern and to-date in all the photo's concerning VTC units I've never seen a "unit" pattern button. |

VTC buttons
I have both large and small Suffolk VTC buttons, which I presume were to be worn on uniforms, you cannot always believe what was in regulations, the uniforms I believe were mainly private purchase and any enterprising manufacturer would almost have certainly offered various VTC units their own style of buttons. As to whether they were allowed to wear them depended on the Senior Officer.

On admission into the C.A.V.T.C., all of these independent units included "VTC" in their title;- i.e. Newcastle-on-Tyne Citizens Training League became Newcastle-on-Tyne V.T.C. and so on. |

Middlesborough VTC
Alan,
That's the one! Mine is very shiny gilt, but exactly the same, even down to the JR Gaunt stamp across the back. Every VTC collector I've spoken to about this badge is satisfied that it's a proper VTC item, but so far no documentary or photographic evidence of it being worn. Any contributions from the forum in this regard very welcome indeed! Best regards, Tim |
