Colston’s Commemoration is an ambitious project that aims to commemorate the Old Colstonians who fought in the First World War and subsequently lost their lives in the conflict.
The project is unique in that it is a compilation of research undertaken by current students at Colston’s School. All Year 11 and A-Level Historians in the 2014-15 academic year each selected one of the 77 Old Colstonians who fell in the Great War. With minimal background knowledge on their chosen OC, and with limited instruction, these students have been tasked with researching the ways in which these OCs contributed to the Great War; the battles they fought in; the locations in which served; the roles they played.
In sum, the project attempts to bring us closer to the wartime service of the members of the school who gave their lives to serve their country, through the historical pursuit of Colston pupils.
