Collar Badges - Volunteer Force 
[Metal Main] [Collars Main]
 [Collars Misc]

The Volunteer Force was formed in 1934 and as can be seen from the badges it replaced the Officer Training Corps (OTC) in colleges.  When the 1934 organisation took place "The Regiment Of Pearse" was one of the new units and it comprised the college units.  The Regt of Pearse wore maroon facings on their uniform and orange backings to the collar badges.  A chrome belt buckle was also worn (see belt buckle section).
