Old Army cadet uniforms

[Bergeron 971]

K guys
I'm trying to rebuild an old army cadet tunic.
I'm thinking of the ??? mid 80's?
As of now I have the following badges.

From what I know,
Army Cadet Drum Major
Army Cadet Sgt
Army cadet Lt ?
....
Ok I don't know most of them
hahaha.
if anyone can name them, or find old books as references, could you scan and post them?
As well as standards as to where it goes on the tunics.
I want to make an authentic 80's tunic, with badges the kids haven't ever seen.
such as the Silver NSCE
Bisley, etc.

As well. If you have other badges ? i could make a second tunic.
I want a tunic with a certain rank and which badges this rank would have had etc.

I know some CIC's could help me out.
Thanks guys

Maybe I should make 2 uniforms from the 70's late 80's. One SNCO, and one Cdt Officer.
What would be the badges a Elite cadet would have had in the day?

Your telling me with all the gray haired people on this site, there isn't one willing to post pic's of them selves in cadet uniform from another generation?
Sheesh, not proud to show people you where actually a cadet once upon a time.

But I'm interested in seeing some people that freqwent this site when they where cadets. HAHA.

I decided to start another project..  ;D

As one of my faverate former cadet corps was disbanned 2360 CHofO, I decided to redo some of there uniforms.
I'll be doing the following for 2360 CHofO
- Cadet level uniform.
-Junior level NCO. (Mcpl) (Garrison Dress)
-Senior level NCO. (CWO) (Highland dress)
-SNCO Combat dress (WO)

I have most of what I need, however I am missing the following:
-One fly (for highland dress)
-One pair of spats. (Mine where stolen)
-One pair of hose tops.
-Three CHofO cadet balmoral.
-One Glangary
-Three Black web belts.
-One CHofO web belt buckle.
-One Combat balmoral.
If anyone has the old mini tartan tie and tartan ascot, that would be sweet.

Pictures will be posted when these projects are complete.

Anyone with comments etc, or is interested in helping me out private message me via this site.
Cheers.

How about you finish one project before starting another?  Not trying to be rude, but I'd like to see some results before this just turns into "Begerons dream list"

 

[Bergeron 971]

hahaha,
They'll get all done

My former projects was to redo a Airborne combat uniform from late-SSF era. Completed that years ago.
I was also working on a Airborne DEU but decided to change it to the summer DEU "Tans".
98% complete.

I'll get some pictures and post them when i have time.

how did those cadet officer appintments work?  Was there NCO and officer cadets and did they chose which one they wanted to become?

 

[rwgill]

The application of the officer ranks varied from unit to unit.

I was recently cleaning out a large locker in our shooting range to put all of our Rifle Team equipment, and came across a number of corps photo albums from late 70's to early 90's. I'll take a couple home next week and scan some pics. What years, ranks, activites would you be interested in seeing? Be a little more specific if you can cause there are ALOT of photos.

 

[Bergeron 971]

80's era. When the red ranks where in use.
I've found plenty of pics with the left arms because people have their pics taken when recieving awards etc from that same darn side. lol
if you have some pics of the chest and right arm.
thanks again for everyones help.

If you are looking for the proper badge placement, that's easy.  Everything but the course badges is the same for the right sleeve.  Only the star, rank, roundel and shoulder flash were on the right side.
