Pierre Posted 16 September , 2012 Share Posted 16 September , 2012 Hello all, Could you tell me why this attending Officer training unit wears a number on his cap, in place of a (his ex) regimental cap badge or a specific cap badge. This photo is from 1918. Many thanks. Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyneside Chinaman Posted 16 September , 2012 Share Posted 16 September , 2012 Hi, Its the Number of the officer cadet battalion he was posted to. There are several variation Number 1 wore a Brass 1 Number 5 a Cloth 5 Number 10 a cloth X roman numeral, Number 7 had VII over CB. I have a photo of a squad from Number 9 OCB where they are wearing both a Brass 9 and their own Regimental badge. regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
