HBC has obtained a few portraits of naval cadets which show the uniforms worn by different boys. The portraits provide a good view of niform changes over time. The uniforms were largely based on the Royal Navy uniforms of the day. This CDV shows Andrew Johnstone. The CDV is undated, but was probably taken about 1900-10. Andrew is a Royal Navy Cadet. The photograph was taken in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We know nothing about ndrew. He look to be 14-15 years old. The cadet wears a dark peaked military cap with a badge. I'm not sure about the badge, but it probably is a badge for a Royal Navy cadet corps. He wears a double breasted jacket with brass buttons and lapel decorations which I am not sure what they represent. Note the handkerchief in his pocket.
