Thanks for those references jranrose. Could you indicate the source?
What is the diagonally split rectangle in the first frame, at the top of the right hand column?

The references are from the Cadet Wing Instructions (CADWINS). The red and white rectangle badge is the Cadet Wing HQ.

Thanks. I should have also asked about the white rectangle below the Cadet Wing HQ patch?

.

Victoria:
The two, three, four and five bar insignia denote cadet rank within the cadet wing. There is one five-bar position, that of Cadet Wing Commander. There are considerably more than 15 two-bar positions. There are 13 squadrons, each of several flights and each flight has three sections, each section commanded by a two-bar cadet.
