WYKEHAMIST WAR SERVICE ROLL

This is the record of service of over 2000 former pupils of Winchester College who served during the Great War, brought up to the date of June 1919. It includes all who were either serving or training as Cadets before that date, and also civilians who received decorations for war services. Under “Despatches” are included Official “Mentions” for Home Service. Names are arranged in three groups: Assistant Masters, the War Service Roll and the list of Quiristers serving in HM Forces; in each group names are in alphabetical order. Finally there is an appendix containing four prayers which were in constant use at Winchester from May 1916 to the end of the War. The information given in each case consists of the dates at the college and House, rank, regiment/corps, battalion, battery and brigade with brief details of service with any decorations and mentions in despatches. Casualties are noted, and in the case of death, date and place.
