Old Boy Wleekend, November 9th. and 10th. For many years the school has been unable to keep anything like as close a contact with the Old Boys as desired, principally because of lack of funds, not merely for re- ceptions, parties, etc. but for the necessary secretarial work which main- tenance of contact makes essential. The position is improving all the time, and it is hoped that any Old Boy who reads these notes will appreciate that lack of contact and apparent silence has certainly not meant lack of interest. The forthcoming weekend will, we hope, usher in a new era in this respect. The Remembrance Day Service, held as usual on November 11th., was remarkable in that it was the first time it had been held in the school Chapel, and the fourteenth, and last time, that the Headmaster called the names of the fallen of Brentwood College. Later, the Board of Governors decided to present the Brentwood College War Memorial Board to the Brentwood College Memorial Chapel at Brentwood to replace the existing Boards which had fallen into disrepair. Mr. Kirk- patrick took great trouble to correct the many errors, and the Board, which in 1919 was the joint creation of the Brentwood College Old Boys' Association and University School, and dedicated here by His Grace the Archbishop, now rests in the Chapel which so many of those listed thereon once helped to build. We record, with inhnite regret, the death of Mr. Billy Davidson, whose length of service to the school is exceeded only by that of Mr. Vtlenman. Generations of Old Boys will remember him with affection, and will be glad to know that his retirement at the school was a veiy happy one. There is no doubt that the school is not quite the same place without him. As a direct consequence of inquiries made by the tourists, the exact location of Captain Harvey's grave was discovered in Niederzwehren Cemetery, and arrangements made for a wreath, with an appropriate black and red ribbon, to be laid on behalf of the school. Later, Major G. D. Corry flier Cup 19121 persuaded a U.S. Army Staff Photographer to take a number of pictures of the cemetery and the grave. It is noteworthy that on the picture reproduced here the inscription on the stone is still clear after so many years: Captain R. V. HARVEY 7th Bn. Canadian Inf. 8th May 1915 Age 13 H.M. 11
