The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1916

For the Warriors

For the Warriors.

The work of compiling a list of all past and present students, who have gone upon actives service in the present war, is steadily progressing. In this issue we publish a fairly complete list, which shows the present numbers to be 225. But the list is, unfortunately, only approximately correct: when the Nominal Roll, which is being prepared by page 44 The Base Records Office is issued, the Executive hopes to be able to obtain a record, which will contain complete information as to our gladiators, who have fared forth in the cause of liberty and justice, to fight in this, the greatest and noblest of all the Crusades.

During the Vacation the Executive despatched a number of parcels to students on active service, each parcel containing a "Spike" and a writing wallet. So far appreciative replies have been received from A. B. Sievwright, G. S. Strack, K. J. Strack, Rev. Father T. B. Segrieff and K. S. Caldwell. It is intended to continue this labour of love. The value of the parcels is small, but, if they but serve to brighten a dull moment, to remind those, who are "over there "that they are not forgotten, that we here are following their doings and appreciating the selflessness of their motives, they will have served their purpose.
