Mike,
Well found, and I do recall looking at the badge at the time of the auction and thinking it was nice but it had since slipped from my memory. regards

Found another bit of info on Wiki :
"Meanwhile, on the site of the old farmstead Thurman built New College, known locally as Eddington College, as a school in competition with Herne Bay College which at that time occupied numbers 6–8 St George's Terrace, Herne Bay and was run by Captain Eustace Turner. Both schools were evacuated in World War I and were requisitioned by the military. Thurman retired and after the war Eddington College was taken over by Captain Turner who ran it as Herne Bay College until 1939."

Herne Bay started with a cadet corps but at some point between the wars became a member of the Junior Division OTC. They wore the school badge in brass on their caps. It's one that I don't have yet.
