During the Second World War, Elizabethans once again served their country with distinction. Many were honoured for their contributions to the war effort, whilst further young men sadly lost their lives.
The 65 Elizabethans killed during the war are commemorated in the School’s entrance hall and are remembered each year as part of our Remembrance Day activities. The service of those who have gone before us, is a key theme of the School prayer:
‘Inspire us, O Lord, so to do our work today that, even as we are being helped by the remembrance of the loyal lives of those who came before us, so our faithfulness in Thy service may aide those who shall take our places.’
