Default B.W.R.C Cadet Corps

Can anyone help identify the B.W.R.C. Cadet Corps?
I have a medal awarded to A. Bruce of the B.W.R.C. Cadet Corps in 1909.
A look through Westlake's Cadet Lists might help.
Thank you.

Would this be a contender?

Default BWRC Cadet Corps

I was able to find a reference from 1907 connecting a Mr A W Bruce to the BWRC. However, I have not been able to find any reference to a Cadet Corps being attached to the Rifle Club. So the search continues for a clearer answer. Thank you for posting.

I think Phil nailed it, many rifle clubs had 'volunteers' participating in shooting competitions. Regards Mark
