Introduction
Newbrough Boys’ School
Easter 1920
It has been impossible to gather a complete list
of Old Boys who served in the War; but suffi-
cient evidence is forthcoming that this school’s
register has supplied a fair share of names to the
Roll of Honour. Sincere sympathy is extended to
the parents who for their country’s sake have had
to bear the loss of a dear son.
With the hope that this list will be of interest
and use, and that any omissions may be excused,
I ask acceptance of this tribute to the Old Boys of
Newbrough School.
