Army Cadet Pictures circa 1946

[Roger M]

Here are some pictures from the estate of Captain Harman of the 4th Cadet Batt The Queens Royal Regiment. I cannot say if all the pictures are of the Cadets from the 4th Battalion as some pictures are from larger meetings. I believe the 4th Battalion D Company was based in Haslemere.

Some great professional-looking photos there. Love the bridge scene, with smoke too!

I am glad you like the pictures, I thought they were quite interesting. The kit inspection shows the Cadets with the leather water bottle harness and the small packs look like signals Satchels.

The school cadets are packing P14 rifles-long and heavy for a kid to carry!-Some of the pics are adult soldiers with Mk IV helmets and No. 4 rifles.

I zoomed in on the kit inspection. The mugs look shorter and wider than the standard enamel mugs?
