'The First World War happened over one hundred years ago but its effects are still to be seen in many other, often unobtrusive, ways in both the College and the University. Peter Martland’s moving commemoration of those who died, and those who also served, gives that legacy immediacy and vividness, transporting us to a College and a society very different from our own.' Sir Hew Strachan
'The College owes a debt of gratitude to Peter Martland (and also to Hew Strachan for his impressive and informative Foreword) for the astonishingly detailed research that he has carried out and assembled in this book. Through it we can read an extraordinary collection of moving stories of courage and devotion to duty by men of Corpus, most of whose lives were cruelly cut short by this devastating war. I’m sure I join many others in thanking and congratulating Peter for his thorough and well-presented work.' Stuart Laing, former Master, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (m.1967)
