Book excerpt: Excerpt from Members of the University of Glasgow and the University Contingent of the Officers' Training Corps Who Served With the Forces of the Crown, 1914 1919 IT is with mingled feelings that the University issues this record of its members' service and sacrifice during the Great War. Proud it must be that so many answered at once to the high call of national duty. But it must also grieve for the loss of the unreturning brave, who yielded up their young lives that our Country might live. At the first onset of the War in August 1914, hundreds of our students volunteered for active service in the Scottish battalions, which speedily won undying fame in France and Flanders; the Roll of the Fallen shows at what heavy cost. Their example was followed by hundreds more, month by month, as the struggle went on. Teachers and students flocked into action on land, at sea, and in the air, until the University had its representatives in almost every branch of the services and on every field of warfare.
