    Hello,

    On the French forum there is a discussion going on about an O.T.C (see link please) entitled "Regiment UK ? Fanfare à déchiffrer "

    Link (http)

    Can anybody tell us whether the people shown on the PC are British and what would be the right interpretation of the writings on the back of the card. Are they talking about Hampton School or .... ?

    Thank you for your help

    The OTC is properly the University Officer Training Corps and recruits from Fresher Fairs at various universities around the country

    The East Midland branch covers Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Northampton, so it is quite probable that the building is one of these universities rather than a small boarding school

    At a push it could even be the RMAS at Sandhurst?

    Quite possibly - I was quoting the web site for modern OTCs whereas the exponential rise in 'universities' (we called them polytechnics when I was young) has been matched by the decline in proper grammar schools...
