T HE S CHOOL O.T.C. 1912 THREE YEARS AFTER ITS FORMATION Prior to the war O.T.C. participation was voluntary, restricted to pupils over 14 years of age. As can be seen the Corps was popular with the boys. In this picture the three officers seated in the centre are (from the left) Leonard Cass, the Reverend John Bussell and Arthur Weller and on each side of them are the Non Commissioned Officers. The Sergeant to Cass’s right is Noel Hudson, son of a previous Warden, who in the war became the most decorated O.S.E. as well as the most wounded! All those shown served in the Great War and thirty percent were lost.
