Description

HACKNEY DOWNS SCHOOL formerly THE GROCERS' COMPANY'S SCHOOL ROLL OF HONOUR AND SERVICE This Roll of Honour and Service is a record, so far as is known, of the names of those former pupils and staff of the School who fought, and often died, in what is known as the The Great War. There are tales of bravery and humour, including the production of a humorous newspaper, at the Front, all reported in the School Magazine during the war years. A story written, towards the end, of life in a German POW camp in what is now Poland, illuminates yet one more aspect of the life of 'Our Boys' whilst, in England, a German Bomber catches a boy enjoying a holiday by the sea. Men of the original British Expeditionary Force were caught and interned in Holland where a former HDS scholar remembered Gilbert and Sullivan operas so well from productions at School that they were staged in his Dutch camp. And a Belgian refugee recorded his adventures in French. There are, of course, the tragic deaths to be counted, the lives lost and often the graves too. Some awful wounds are recorded, sometimes in horrific detail, yet what survives is the steadfastness of the boys from Hackney Downs in the nightmare which was World War One.
