Henry Tarrant Eyres, pictured aged 16, left
St Edward’s in 1915 to attend the Royal Military
College at Sandhurst. In 1917, he was commissioned
in the Queen’s Royal West Surrey Regiment as a
Second Lieutenant and went on to become a night
bomber pilot in the RAF. Returning from a raid two
days before the armistice on 11th November 1918,
he collided with another aircraft and was killed.
He was the last OSE to die in action in the Great
War, and one of the youngest; he was 19.
Between July 1917 and July 1918, the following OSE
lost their lives as the horrors of the Great War raged
on. We continue to honour and remember them.

Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
