Ill 'IIIIBIITEL More than all the pages of this book would be needed to tell the story of St. Iohn's men in the great war now drawing to its close. Many pages would be needed just to list them. How difficult then to write of them in the few formal paragraphs of a dedication. During the whole of our life at their own Old School land oursl, we have been hearing of their gallant deeds, of their heroic sacrifices, of their devoted service, and alas! of those who, in the words of Lincoln, have paid the last full measure of de- votion. It is difficult not to mention names as our thoughts range from the hot sands of African deserts to the frozen wastes of the Aleutians, from the bleak, snow-clad peaks of the Apennines to the fetid jungles of the tropical islands, from the smiling. sunlit seas of the south Pacific to the bitter, storm-bound Waters of the convoy lanes in the frozen Arctics, from the plains of Germany to the rocky headlands of treacherous Iapan, from Iceland to Burma and India and across the roof of the world to harrassed, bomb-torn Chunking. We would like to mention names, but there are too many. We can only say that wherever our fancy roams, on land or sea, or in the air, there the men of St. Iohn's are fighting and dying for all that we hold dear. And so, in sad remembrance, in solemn tribute and in the fierce pride of the Corps, we dedicate this book to those fine men of St. Iohn's who are serving in the great war, and to the ever- lasting memory of those who will not come back.
