Botton right shows St Pauls School at dinner and bottom left shows Merchant Taylors School off to the Cooks tent. The Office Training Corps system was established in 1908 to answer the serious deficiency in the British Army of men who could lead and command as officers and NCO s. Formed at Universities and Public Schools they attracted young men into the army and carried out training sufficient to allow the recruit to be commissioned. There were 23 OTC contingents of the Senior Division at Universities and 166 of the Junior Division at schools. Date: 1909
