“One of the most powerful features of boarding schools is their continuity through generations. Remembering those former pupils who lived and breathed in the same rooms as today’s young people is a duty and an honour. We are all better people for remembering and celebrating the past, especially those who fell in the service of their country.”
Sir Anthony Seldon, BOBOR Military Advisor
