Through the agency of many both within and outside the College community we have endeavoured to honour the memory of the 749 former pupils, teachers and staff who gave their lives during the First World War. This book draws together stories from across the whole spectrum of this community in wartime - before, during, and after - those who died and those who survived. It is a unique journey of reflection through which runs a strong sense of shared Marlborough heritage, experience and memory.
"Quite simply a must-read for every Marlburian- this book chronicles, in rich and poignant detail, the stories of the brave young men who made the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good in the Great War. Their common bond was and is Marlborough College. We must memorialise them, their names, their faces and their stories. This book is a cornerstone of our indebtedness and an indelible resource for future generations of those who pass along the Olde Bath Road."
