Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harrow Memorials of the Great War, Vol. 1: August 23rd, 1914, to March 20th, 1915 IT is more than three years since our great Empire rushed to the standard to prevent the absorption of small nations by a Power, steeped in Imperialism and Militarism, and bent, through those instruments, on the domination of the world. From the first our public schools eagerly came forward to take their part, and none have been more prominent than the dear old School on the Hill. I have already endeavoured in Harrow's Epic of 1196 War (published in December, 1916) to depict, in all too feeble words, the glorious spirit in which Old Harrovians willingly laid down their lives, not only for the noblest cause ever submitted to the decision of the battlefield, but also in the greatest war the world has ever witnessed. Their memories will be kept green in the minds of all who visit the School, in years to come, by an impressive monument, now under consideration, where future Harrovians will be able to read the names of the School heroes. Naturally they will try to picture to themselves the features of the gallant dead, and it will be in the pages of these volumes that they will be enabled to fulfil their wishes. It is not possible to say what the number of volumes will be, for the end of the war is not yet in sight but already some five hundred have paid the great sacrifice. No words are necessary to commend these volumes to the notice of Old Harrovians. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harrow Memorials of the Great War, Vol. 4: July 5th, 1916, to April 11th, 1917 Married, in 1915, Dorothy Drina, elder daughter of Major Lightfoot, of Anchoret, Bedford. Lieutenant Allen, on the outbreak of the War, joined the Scottish Horse as a despatch rider. In November, 1914, he was transferred for a course of instruction in aviation as a pilot, and took his 'ticket the follow ing month. In January, 1915, he joined the Royal Flying Corps, obtained his Wings in April, and went to the Front with No. 12 Squadron, in Septem ber, 1915, returning home two months later for special duty in the construe tion of aviation engines. For seven months he had the sole charge of testing a well-known engine, the success of which was largely due to the thought and care which he devoted to it, the experience which he had gained in flying being of great use to him. He never failed to impart to those under him information about the engine, and, possessing a strong personality him self, he was enabled to get the best out of others. He returned to the Royal Flying Corps in September, 1916, and was appointed Flying Officer to the Testing Squadron at Upavon. In December, 1916, he was promoted Lieutenant, and in January of the following year moved with his Squadron to Martlesham. He was accidentally killed at Martlesham, on March 2lst.

Download or read book The Final Whistle written by Stephen Cooper and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE BRITISH SPORT BOOK AWARDS - RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR This is the story of 15 men killed in the Great War. All played rugby for one London club; none lived to hear the final whistle. Rugby brought them together; rugby led the rush to war. They came from Britain and the Empire to fight in every theatre and service, among them a poet, playwright and perfumer. Some were decorated and died heroically; others fought and fell quietly. Together their stories paint a portrait in miniature of the entire War. The Final Whistle plays tribute to the pivotal role rugby played in the Great War by following the poignant stories of fifteen men who played for Rosslyn Park, London. They came from diverse backgrounds, with players from Australia, Ceylon, Wales and South Africa, but they were united by their love of the game and their courage in the face of war. From the mystery of a missing memorial, Cooper's meticulous research has uncovered the story of these men and captured their lives, from their vanished Edwardian youth and vigour, to the war they fought and how they died.

Download or read book Public Schools and The Great War written by Anthony Seldon and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pioneering and original book, Anthony Seldon and David Walsh study the impact that the public schools had on the conduct of the Great War, and vice versa. Drawing on fresh evidence from 200 leading public schools and other archives, they challenge the conventional wisdom that it was the public school ethos that caused needless suffering on the Western Front and elsewhere. They distinguish between the younger front-line officers with recent school experience and the older 'top brass' whose mental outlook was shaped more by military background than by memories of school.??The Authors argue that, in general, the young officers' public school education imbued them with idealism, stoicism and a sense of service. While this helped them care selflessly for the men under their command in conditions of extreme danger, it resulted in their death rate being nearly twice the national average.??This poignant and thought-provoking work covers not just those who made the final sacrifice, but also those who returned, and?whose lives were shattered as a result of their physical and psychological wounds. It contains a wealth of unpublished detail about public school life before and during the War, and how these establishments and the country at large coped with the devastating loss of so many of the brightest and best. Seldon and Walsh conclude that, 100 years on, public school values and character training, far from being concepts to be mocked, remain relevant and that the present generation would benefit from studying them and the example of their predecessors.??Those who read Public Schools and the Great War will have their prevailing assumptions about the role and image of public schools, as popularised in Blackadder, challenged and perhaps changed.
