Officer Cadet cap badge

[Bill A]

This plain brass maple leaf backed by a white thin plastic circle may turn up at times, and is often not identified. The example in the image is an officer cadet cap badge, worn on officer qualifying courses in Camp Borden during the 50's. It probably had wider use, both in place and time. Any other examples?

My information, unconfirmed and probably mythological, is that the badge was worn by officer cadets of the Officer Candidate School and goes with the OCS gilding metal shoulder title. It seems to me there was also a cloth shoulder badge in red with white Officer Candidate School letters. The OCS was part of the Royal Canadian School of Infantry at Camp Borden. This was during the early 1950s. Sorry I cannot be any more precise than that.

Right you are on the shoulder title Wyn. I have one in my accumulation, but I don't think it came with the cap badge if I remember correctly.
