St Edward's School Oxford and the Great War 1914-1918

T HE DEDICATION OF THE S CHOOL C ALVARY , ERECTED TO REMEMBER THE S CHOOL ’ S DEAD - ‘T HE L AST P OST ’ 1920 Warden Ferguson stands on the right hand end of the line of clergy, next to T.H. Archer-Houblon, the Archdeacon of Oxford, who led the service. In the background are members of the O.T.C. with C.S.M. Merry saluting in the front. Merry was to continue in this role at the School until 1948; a small but formidable and respected figure known to generations of pupils - he lived to over 100 years of age. The Calvary would be moved at least twice more in the years that followed to accommodate other landscaping, but still resides in approximately the same area as in 1920.
