Cap Badge - Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps (GSUOTC)
Cap Badge - Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officers Training Corps (GSUOTC). This gold coloured anodized aluminum badge was mounted on a tartan background with the others.
Glasgow and Strathclyde Universities Officer Training Corps (GSUOTC) is one of nineteen University Officer Training Corps in the United Kingdom and one of four in Scotland, drawing recruits from higher education institutions in and around the city of Glasgow and the wider Strathclyde region in west-central Scotland. Officer Training Corps were originally established at the four ancient universities of Scotland, but have continued to expand their catchment in line with the expansion of higher education institutions during the latter half of the 20th century. As part of the Territorial Army, the OTC's mission is to develop the leadership potential of selected university students through enjoyable and challenging training in order to communicate the values, ethos and career opportunities of the wider British Army.
Part of 51st (Scottish) Brigade, GSUOTC currently recruits its members from student volunteers attending the four Universities in the Greater Glasgow area: The University of Glasgow, The University of Strathclyde, Glasgow Caledonian University and the University of the West of Scotland. Students from these institutions can also join the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde Air Squadron or the Glasgow University Royal Naval Unit.
