PUBLIC SCHOOL OFFICERS, AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE STAFFS. y ^ «• r. «^ DEC 2* \m h PREFACE. 5,.^ It was pointed out to me last year that though ~^ every PubHc School was keeping a Record of " J[J Service of its Old Boys," little was heard of the rjj personal service of the Schoolmasters who have supplied the O.T.C. with Officers and Instructors, "^ and who have also suppUed the fighting forces with 5xcellent material at a critical time in our natioral history. I was asked as Hon. Sec. of the O.T.C. (Officers) Club to take steps to compile such a record ; with this purpose in view I collected material from all Schools furnishing Contingents to the O.T.C. ; I then found that I had undertaken a very aig task, and one which at the limited time at my disposal would have taken years to complete satisfactorily. I was fortunate enough however to secure the assistance of Major D. H. Steers who had recently returned from France, and it is by him that aiost of the work has been done and to whom most of the credit is due for the production of this stJI incomplete record. I hope that in- accuracies >r omissions in this first edition will be notified to ne or to Major D. H. Steers, R.E. (x.), St. John's College, Cambridge, as soon as possible, so that they may be corrected in future issues. B. MONTAGUE JONES, Major, Hon, Sec. O.T.C. Club. St. Albans, 25/7/1919. NOTE. Certain abbreviations have of necessity been brought into use in the following pages, but it is not thought that any will be found difficult to understand. It will be noted that the Records of Services are divided into two parts: —" A " containing :hose of O.T.C. Officers only, and " B " those of Members of the Staff (not being Officers of the O.T.C). The names of all Officers and Men vho have fallen in the War, or who have died between August 4th, 1914, and November nth, 1918, are shewn in heavy type. An index is given at the end of thi book, by means of which any name can be quckly found. The Schools and Colleges are given in alphabetical order ; returns which have arrived too late for inclusion in this book will be published as a supple- ment, and will be sent to all who ap:)ly for it. As it is anticipated that more tlan one edition will be required, it is particularly requested that atiy errors or omissions be at once notified to me as early as possible. All Officers Commanding Contingents are cor- dially thanked for the trouble they have taken to obtain the Records required for insertion in the following pages, and for their courtesy in so promptly correcting the proofs of the Records of their respective Schools or Colleges. Lieut. H. A. Golden, R.E. (t.), and Lieut. D. H. King, R.G.A. (S.R.), are also thanked for their help in reading and checking the proofs, and for their assistance in compiling the nominal index at the end of the book. D. H. STEERS, Major R.E. (x.)
