Eton Excelsior and the War
To the EDITOR of the EXPRESS (5th October 1939)
SIR. Your news items under “Twenty-five, Fifty and a Hundred Years Ago” are always interesting reading, but never more so to the members of the Eton Excelsior Rowing Club than last week’s news under the heading of “Twenty-five Years Ago“.
It is gratifying to note that practically all those whose names appeared came safely through the last war.
Perhaps, as a matter of interest, you will insert the names of the present members who are serving in this war:
- A. E. Sharratt
- J. C. Fox
- D. A. Bond
- J. Lawson
- N. J. Nicholls
- A. W. Aubrey-Jones
- D. S. Harrison
- T. Marrs
- R. J. Cork
- J. J. Sowerby
- A. G. Blake
- E. C. Chasty
- B. J. Cork
- T. G. Hardwick
- P. Watson
- D. J. Burke
- W. Fraser
- R. D. Copas
- R. Giles
- B. W. D. Bransden
- E. A. Blore
- L. W. S. Howard
- J. G. White
- P. W. Fitzgerald
- J. B. Frampton
- G. R. Streatfield
I sincerely hope there will be no occasion to reprint these names in 1964.
Yours faithfully,
C. D. Dyson, Hon. Secretary, EERC
