TONBRIDGE SCHOOL AND THE GREAT WAR OF 1914-1919

Viac o knihe

Originally published in 1923 this is regarded as one of the most comprehensive school memorial books of all time. It gives a most detailed biography and photograph of over 400 Old Tonbridgians who gave their lives. One of these was Lieutenant Henry Webber, killed in action at the age of 68! Additionally there are summaries of the service of around 2000 others from Tonbridge School who served before the Armistice. Several appendices of honours and awards, including overseas awards, are included. Lists of those taken prisoner of war or interned are very useful as well. A most worthwhile book of almost 700 pages. Highly recommended.
