Sydney Grammar School and the Second World War

Included below is a continuation of the brief listings for surnames beginning with W, Y and Z. The project aims to tell the story of Old Sydneians who participated in the Second World War.

The following nominal roll represents the thirteenth and final instalment of research into OS participants based on (a) The Sydneian list (No. 317, May 1946); (b) the School’s Liber Nominum; (c) Australian military sources (including the Australian War Memorial and websites hosted by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs).

Dr Glozier’s initial aim is to research and record a definitive list of all OS participants. If readers have any information about OS in WWII, Dr Glozier is keen to hear from you. Please write to mrg@sydgram.nsw.edu.au

Pictured are staff who served in WWII: Leslie William Webster (back row, centre)
