1915
Among the O.T.C. activities during the war was the provision of an element of competition between the Sets, while at the same time improving the standard of ‘musketry’,
which to begin with had been poor. Two new firing ranges (in gravel pits on the edge of the playing fields) were installed as far back as 1905 and had been upgraded at the
beginning of the war. This is the winning team of 1915, members of Set E whose Tutor was then Bruce Goldie. All these boys served and survived in the Great War, with
the exception of John Hamilton (standing on the right) who at only thirteen at this time was too young; he did later take part in the Second World War with distinction.
