Army Apprentice School Bagde

●

●

The Cross which forms the spokes of the wheel (the basis of the badge) represents, of course, the Christian virtues and the development of character. The Torch of Learning, which is superimposed upon the Cross, represents that desire to go on learning, which it should be the aim of every School to implant in the hearts and minds of all its sons. The Crossed Swords remind us, as soldiers, of the military qualities of Courage and Discipline and the importance of a high standard of Physical Fitness. The Wheel, of course, represents the trade and technical training carried out at the Schools, whilst the Crown expresses Loyalty to our King and Country ( and therefore to superiors and comrades alike) and Devotion to Duty." The badges featured below are those of the Regiments and Corps in which former Army Apprentices served after 1923. The year in which the British Army inaugurated the Apprentice training scheme. These badges and other military insignia will be added to as more come to light.
