Robert Gordon's College by Daniel W Montgomery
This work deals with one specific tradition with which the institution founded by Robert Gordon has long been associated. It describes service performed by Gordonians in two World Wars and, it is hoped, will act as a memorial to Gordonians who gave their lives in the service of their country. A list of casualties from each was has been researched and, wherever possible, the location of war graves is given in what is hoped will be a definitive Roll of Honour.At the same time it describes the activities of the Combined Cadet Force and Pipe Band, which continue to be amongst the most popular and highly valued extra curricular activities in the College. It describes the wealth of opportunities for personal development enjoyed by pupils and lists the very many successes achieved by cadets, pipers and drummers, particularly in recent years.Many Gordon's staff have been associated with the various cadet organizations in the College over the years and have, in their own way, contributed strongly to the wider education of our young people. Our acknowledgement of this selfless contribution and our gratitude are recorded here.Finally, the work attempts to draw together the two sides of our story and shows that military activity performed by our teenagers is not simply for its own sake. Our earnest hope is that they will develop a clear understanding of the role of the Armed Forces in society in line with the motto: In Learning is Our Strength.
