Aah but that was then. I still reckon that were are talking post-WWII. At my school we marked everything stuff CGS or CGS CCF but we were post-1948 (Our CCF was an ex school based ATC.)

Most Public Schools had OTCs or 'the Corps' which became the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) after WW2. The Edinburgh Academy had SMLEs. In 1939 these were returned to the Army after Dunkirk and replaced with P17s. Three months later the P17s were packed up and sent off and back came the SMLEs! This I was told by my late father who used to 'borrow' them for the South Queensferry Home Guard before they became one of the best armed HG units in the country as they were so near 2 Naval bases. When I was at the Academy we had No4s and Bren guns. Being in the RAF section I did not get to play with them often. Many were taken away due to the 'Irish problem' in the late 60s early 70s.
