Description
Excerpt from Roll of Service in the Great War, 1914-1919
Principal during the years of the War; these were necessarily incomplete, but they formed the foundation of the present work.
The Record falls into two parts, the In Memoriam Roll and the Roll of Service. The first part contains the names of those who gave their lives in the War, numbering 341, together with a short biographical notice of each, and wherever possible a portrait: in all 3 3 5 portraits have been obtained. The short biographies have been contributed by near relatives or intimate friends, or have been compiled from accounts which were considered reliable. They appear in chronological order according to the date of death, so that the names of those who fell side by side stand together on the printed page. The second part contains the names of Graduates, Alumni and Students, numbering who went on Service - whether in the Navy, or in the Army, or in the Air Force - or who did work of national importance arising out of the War. It includes Students whose names stand on the books of the University up to the Summer Session of 1920. The information given was supplied in response to a form which was widely circulated and in most cases is the writer''s own report of his or her service, but edited so as to give a certain amount of uniformity. No index is required, as all the names appear in the Roll of Service arranged alphabetically those of the Fallen are in Tudor type, followed in each case by a reference to the page on which the biographical notice appears in the In Memoriam Roll. The two Appendices contain the names of Officials of the University who rendered War Service, and of civilian prisoners of war.
