The War, 1914-1918

No story of Victoria students can be told without reference to war, its profound influence on life and its enormous sacrifice. The Route Nationale in France, when the N.Z. Division was out resting, seemed like a stretch of Lambton Quay— so many were the old friends one would meet along the road. There is no space to tell of the individuals who gave their lives in a great cause. The story has been told, the record stands, and the tradition survives.
