77 attack on "German Officers' Trench" in August 1915, which he led, and the fatal Menin-road affair in Octfjber 1917, when he rallied the 2nd Brigade, and was mentioned in despatches. He was three times wounded, was buried in a trench on , and had shell concussion, during which he was blind for some days. He was awarded the D.S.O. in , and was decorated by the King in May of that year. While at School his ambition was always to be a soldier, and he proved himself a fine one when the chance came. The Daly Window in the Hall is in memory of him. On 6th May another dux of the College, and officer of the A.F.C. was killed in action in the air—W. A. J. Buckland (1907) Buckland was a Government Scholar and Exhibitioner, and a Scholar of Ormond College. He completed a brilliant University course in engineering, gaining, like O. G. Lewis, a number of Exhibitions. He held a commission in the University Rifles, and was active in social work, both inside and outside of the Uni­ versity. He left with the Engineers, but, like a good many others of that corps, subsequently obtained a commission in the Australian Flying Corps. Cyril B. H. Johnson (1910), (Private, 6th Battalion), had been selected for an officers' school when a shell killed him and two others of his platoon while asleep in their dugout. He was a member of a notable Wesley family, one of the most numerous that has ever attended School. Eldest son of B. P. .Tohnson (1880), he was a nephew of Arthur L. Johnson (1884), of Harold Johnson (" Grip" of the early nineties), and Leo Johnson (1893) ; a brother, L. P. Johnson (1920), is still at Wesley, and three cousins are, or have been, Wesley boys. I have referred earlier to the deaths of Eric Edgerton, Waldo Wame-Smith, and Reg. Abernethy, who all fell in 1918. Another son of an ex-Pre«ident of the College was killed on 29th September, Norman Holden, who was only 20 when he died. He had left College to go overseas as batman to his father, the Rev. Thomas Plolden, when the latter, as Methodist Chaplain-General, went to Engla.nd and with the other Chaplains-General on their inspection in 1916. Immediately on his return he enlisted in the Artillery, and left for Prance on 9th November, 1917. Within a week after Holden's death, another minister's son, Jim Rowlands (1908), was killed. Ho had had more than three years' 9er\dce in and France, and had been severely wounded at Pozieres in 1916. More well-known Old Boys were yet to "go west" before the Armistice. On 6th September E. B. Denton (1907) was killed in action. Eddie Denton was one of the three little forwards of our champion football team of 1908, the others being Roy Park, A.I.F., and Howard Trathan, A.I.F.
