King Edward V1Grammar School, Vinefields, Bury St Edmunds, OTC Annual Review
Date:
Caption:
Officers and cadets from the Cadet Training Corps with the Headmaster , army and civic dignitaries on the occasion of the Annual Review. Possibly 1921 or 1927. Reformed by 1920, the OTC Reports in the Old Burian list activities as annual training camps, frequent route marches with band, field days, and instruction from Suffolk Yeomanry and their Sergeant and CO in compass use, morse and semaphore. A 'keenness on musketry' was reported. Equipment provided included miniature rifles, and short rifles with long bayonets. The 1921 War Office Report compliments drill discipline and turn-out, and 1927 reports smart saluting, slow handling of arms, but battle drill well done.
