1901
Cadet Corps instituted in 1901 with Jimmy Hurst Hayes, an Old Leysian (A 1891-94) and Master of the School (1899-1912), as first CO. Initially the Corps was affiliated to the 3rd (Cambs.) Volunteer Battalion Suffolk Regiment until 1909 when it became a contingent of the O.T.C. (Junior Division). The Company was designed to embrace, excluding bandsmen (bugles and drums), about half the School, being volunteer members and of sufficient age and physique.
