| Note | Prepublication record (machine generated from publisher information) Ipswich Grammar School was founded in 1863, and the school has been a beacon of education throughout its 155 year history to date. However, it was during the Great War that the school really defined itself. Just over 1500 students had been enrolled at the school throughout its years to that stage, and of these 1500, just under 300 volunteered to serve, in some way, in WW1. Students from all walks of life, had two things in common - their passion for 'The School on the Hill', and their desire to serve t heir country - to do what was right. Of these boys, 45 made the ultimate sacrifice, many won military honours, many came home wounded and many returned to a somewhat normal life (if life could ever be normal for them again). It is this journey from boy hood to becoming a man, on the battlefields of France, the deserts of Egypt and the skies over Europe that has yet to be told for these IGS Old Boys. It is an honour that is long overdue. By sharing a biographical entry on each of these men, and sheddin g light on their stories, our community can commemorate their service and their impact on the war. And truly understand 'The Immeasurable Cost' of war... |
