HARROW MEMOR I A LS O F TH E GREAT WA R U ST rd ‘ 1 1 to MA R C H 0th 1 1 A U G z g , 9 4 , 2 , 9 5 VOL U M E I PR I N T E D F O R H A R R O W S C H O O L I ntro d u c tion I T is more than three years since ou r great Empire rushed to the standard to o n prevent the abs rptio of small nations by a Power, steeped in Imperialism o and Militarism , and bent, through those instruments , on the d mination of the world . o fi r Fr m the rst our public schools eagerly came forward to take thei part , an d none have been more prominent than the dear old School on the Hill . ’ I have already endeavoured in Ha rrow s Epic of 1196 Wa r (published in c 1 16 o in De ember , 9 ) to depict, in all too feeble words , the glori us spirit which o r for Old Harrovians willingly laid d wn thei lives , not only the noblest c a t he fi use ever submitted to decision of the battle eld , but also in the r the g eatest war world has ever witnessed . Their memories will be kept r o r g een in the minds of all who visit the Sch ol , in yea s to come, by an r impressive monument, now under consideration , whe e future Harrovians of o will be able to read the names the Sch ol heroes . Naturally they will tr y to picture to themselves the features of the gallant dead , and it will be in the pages o f these volumes that they will be enabled to fulfil their wishes . w It is not possible to say what the number of volumes ill be , for the end of the war is n o t yet in sight but already some five hundred have paid fi the great sacri ce . No words are necessary to commend these volumes to o the n tice of Old Harrovians . f To them , whether they were personally acquainted with the allen or o not, the b oks will form a glorious record of the unselfish patriotism and i o ndescribable bravery of the old Sch ol , in the cause of honour, uprightness n - o m and dow tr dden hu anity, while to relations and friends they will bring o o of s me consolati n , in that the faces their dear ones will thus be permanently handed down to posterity . - .
