Staff, students and their families, many of whom are serving in the Armed Forces, joined together today for the Gordon’s Parade and Service of Remembrance for the sacrifices of so many including the 155 former students killed in action during the First World War; 31 in the Second World War and those in more recent conflicts. Wreaths were laid on behalf of students and staff, governors and trustees and the Gordonians. The Reverend Graham Wright, conducting the Service said: “The way of life we enjoy is in no small measure, the result of the sacrifices of young people, who saw the bigger picture and were willing to put others before themselves”.
