Staffsyeoman Posted 29 November , 2009 Share Posted 29 November , 2009 It's a Cadet Force - in this case Combined Cadet Force - First Class cadet pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muerrisch Posted 30 November , 2009 Share Posted 30 November , 2009 In our period 1914 1918 the four point star red was for a Pass at Certificate A in the Officer Training Corps ..... this gave exemption for a TF promotion exam to full Lieutenant. The gold star was Cert B and gave exemption to Captain. Lord Reith of BBC fame was the proud owner of a gold star. He served in Scottish Rifles TF. The workmanship of the star illustrated is rather poor and I suspect it is one for the more modern Army Cadet usage as described above. The real deal [and the gold one] are beautiful period embroidery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree its for modern usage as my school CCF Army Section used it to denote the passing of the Army Proficiency Certificate in NCO's Cadre (1960's).
