HEAR THEIR FOOTSTEPS. THE OLD EDWARDIANS AT WAR 1914-18

31/1/2015

0 Comments

 
In 1914 Europe divided and the British Empire was plunged into  war with Germany. The  summer of the previous year saw the School's  Cricket First XI pose for a photograph at Whiteley Woods. By the cessassion of hostilities in November 1918 seven of that team were dead, killed in action. 
John Cornwell's 'Hear Their Footsteps' chronicles the life and times of those Old  Edwardians who went to war, some never to return and many of whom  to this day are immortalised on the honours board near to the great assembly hall.
A magnificent read and available via the Old Edwardians at £5.00 (plus postage and package). Please contact the President for further information.
