Remembering those who died during WW2

With the approach of the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 8 May 2025, it seemed a fitting time to complete detailed research on all OFs and staff who died during WW2.  The same was completed in respect of WW1 in 2018 to mark 100th anniversary of the end of the Great War.

The research in respect of WW2 is now complete and available to all OFs, College staff and the general public as a whole to explore  Click here

When you first click on a name you are presented with a summary of their details and then you can further explore more information and photos by clicking on the story link eg Glyn Whittaker.

In total there are 84 OFs and 1 master included.  This compares with 150 during WW1.  In terms of date of birth they range from 18 April 1877 to 10 October 1925 and age just 18 through to 67 at the time of their deaths.

They are remembered in the UK and across the world, including France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Egypt, Singapore, Libya, Holland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, New Zealand, Burma, Greece, South Africa, Bangladesh and Mauritania and for most I have tracked down a photo of their grave or memorial.
