They had beards,
and snow on their boots.
1:27:04
I say, Waterhouse has joined up.
1:27:07
Waterhouse?
1:27:09
Yes, sir.
1:27:10
But he only left last term.
1:27:15
How long do you think it will last?
1:27:17
Why, Forrester,
you thinking of joining the army?
1:27:21
- I will as soon as they'll have me.
- It'll all be over long before they do that.
1:27:25
- But I'm 16 and a bit, sir.
- I know, Forrester.
1:27:28
But I'm afraid you won't have a chance.
1:27:30
It can't last. Stands to reason.
1:27:33
It's a question of weeks.
1:27:37
Sorry to disappoint you, Forrester.
1:27:42
Tonight adds to the roll of honor...
1:27:44
...the names of 11 boys
and one master of Brookfield School...
1:27:49
...who have given their lives
for their country.
1:27:54
John Forrester
of the Northumberland Fusiliers.
1:27:58
Killed while counterattacking the enemy
in the salient at Ypres.
1:28:02
He left here to join the army
at the age of 17 years and 6 months.
1:28:07
He was moved up into the line
on his second day in France...
1:28:10
...and two days later was killed in action.
1:28:14
But I'm 16 and a bit, sir.
1:28:16
I know, Forrester. But I'm afraid
you won 't have a chance.
1:28:21
Richard Kingsley
of the Warwickshire Regiment.
1:28:24
Fell leading a bombing raid
upon the enemy trenches.
1:28:27
Kingsley was captain of the school
in 1909 and entered Sandhurst.
1:28:37
- Colley.
- I wanted to see you.
1:28:39
I'm off to France on Friday.
1:28:41
Martin Rutherford and John Passmore
were friends.
1:28:44
They came here together
in the same term...
1:28:47
...they joined the flying corps together...
1:28:50
...and died upon the same day...
1:28:53
...covering the infantry attack
upon Delville Wood.
