[First World War Honour Roll]

Prince Alfred College Speech Day. December 18, 1918 ... [cover title]

Adelaide, Hussey & Gillingham Limited, Printers (for The College), 1918.

Octavo, 16 pages.

Title-wrappers a little creased, marked and rubbed; a very good copy.

'First Speech Day. HRA' is written in pencil at the head of the front cover; we presume this is a later inscription by the H.R. Adamson who was awarded third prize in Junior A at the Preparatory School that year. These traditional Speech Day lists of successes gained and prizes awarded are overshadowed by the lengthy Honour Roll of Old Collegians 'who were sent overseas or who expected to be sent at the time of the armistice' (7 pages). This is followed by a list (a page and a half) of those awarded military distinctions (including Captain Hugo Throssell VC), and a full page of those who did not return.
