Over half-term 40 boys and 6 members of staff went on the school's 14th annual Battlefields Tour. Each tour has a different itinerary and this year's tour concentrated on visiting sites connected with the twin battles of Messines and Passchendale which were fought in 1917. As always, a number of Old Boys and relatives of people on the tour were specially commemorated. These included a founder member of our Cadet Force, and the 8 Old Boys of the school who were killed in the Battle of Passchendale and are buried or commemorated at Tyne Cot Cemetery. On the last night of the tour members of the CCF took part for the ninth time in the famous Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres, in front of a large crowd. At the end of the ceremony several people expressed their thanks to the boys, including a former sergeant-major in the Grenadier Guards, who said that they were a credit to their school and to the Cadet movement.
