The Glasgow Academy WW2 Roll of Honour From the onset of the second World War in Sept 1939 until the formal end in Sept 1945, the Glasgow Academy suffered a great many losses during the conflict. The following is a list of the former pupils who were casualties and as far as we have been able to, includes information and photographs to tell the stories of these men. In some case, we have little or no information about some of these individuals, so please get in touch if you have anything which could help us fill in the gaps and help us tell their stories. Email:
