MBrockway Posted 14 January , 2016 Share Posted 14 January , 2016 A gold mine - thanks Martin Some favourite ex schoolmaster riflemen appear - Southwell, White, Sheepshanks, Prior, to name just a few. If anyone has come across an equivalent for the OTC Senior Division - i.e. the universities OTCs - please let us all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 14 January , 2016 Share Posted 14 January , 2016 Inns of Court OTC. ...one of the more productive OTC I believe.; somewhere between 11,000 - 12,000 men commissioned MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrockway Posted 14 January , 2016 Share Posted 14 January , 2016 I really meant a RoH for the staff of ALL the various elements of the OTC Senior Division rather than a RoH of the men a particular unit trained and passed to the Front. On the same lines as your link lists all the staff of the OTC Junior Division across ALL the schools (etc.) with cadet units. IIRC the Inns of Court OTC work does list the the staff, but clearly just for that unit. The Artists Rifles RoH is also available on archive.org somewhere, but I'm not at home at the moment (and on a borrowed computer) so I don't have the link handy!

rflory Posted 15 January , 2016 Share Posted 15 January , 2016 It doesn't list staff and I do not know if it is available online but The O.T.C. Roll: A Roll of Members and Ex-Members of the Officers' Training Corps Gazetted to Commissions in the Army August 1914 to March 1915 lists ~ 25,000 OTC members during the time period mentioned in the title with the OTC they attended and the regiment in which they were commissioned. Very useful if you are looking for schools that officers attended. A sample page is attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Abbott Posted 16 January , 2016 Share Posted 16 January , 2016 I wonder why all schools with OTCs are not recorded? Perhaps their returns didn't arrive in time for that edition? Daniel Stewart's College and the Royal High School in Edinburgh both had OTCs pre Great War as did Morrison's Academy (Crieff) and I believe Dollar Academy may have had as well.
