Jack Johnson Posted 27 October , 2010 Share Posted 27 October , 2010 Just stumbled across this excellent thread, will peruse at leisure this evening... I am in the process of sharing my small collection on Flickr. I shall post a few on here as well ... A very young unknown Inns of Court O.T.C. cadet. I am intrigued by the uniform. Did OTC cadets have to privately purchase their own uniforms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Wade Posted 27 October , 2010 Share Posted 27 October , 2010 And he's another one with the end bar of a 'fob watch type' chain in his top pocket buttonhole. I wonder if this was very common. I wonder what the Badge thought about it. Don't suppose they would have been allowed to have that showing on parade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did OTC cadets have to privately purchase their own uniforms? Interesting - it seems to be a hybrid form of SD - officer cut (albeit missing collar for a tie) but from OR grade cloth. Probably paid for by the County Association (TF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Wade Posted 27 October , 2010 Share Posted 27 October , 2010 It looks absolutely brand spanking new too. Very smart. What kind of buttons are they? They look black. Does he have a handkerchief stuffed up his sleeve? Is it me or is his hat a bit small too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
