Old Boys at War

This is the story of T.C.S. boys at war, and more particularly of those who served in the Second World War of 1939-1945. Trinity College School is of no great age; it marked its seventy-fifth birthday on May 1st, 1940, when a memorable celebration was held at Port Hope. Yet three times its boys have heard the call to war, and three times they have responded in full measure. A number of those who served in the First World War or in the Second World War were only fourteen years of age when war broke out; many of those on active service in the Second World War had already seen service in the First World War. Over a third of all the boys who have entered the School in eighty-three years have enlisted in time of war.
