Members Of The University Of Glasgow, And The University Contingent Of The Officers Training Corps Who Served With The Forces Of The Crown, 1914-1919

A meticulously compiled register of the University of Glasgow and the university contingent of the Officers Training Corps, this volume returns the names of those who served with the Forces of the Crown between 1914 and 1919. Names recorded, memory kept alive. Measured in tone and precise in detail, the work functions as a military service anthology and historical reference book: a careful ledger of ranks, regimental connections and service notes that links campus life to the battlefields of first world war Britain. Its documentary restraint places emphasis on facts rather than flourish; the entries read as direct testimony of service, an indispensable starting point for anyone tracing how academic life intersected with wartime obligation.As a resource for World War I military history and Scottish regimental history, this military honor roll collection aggregates great war service records that illuminate the actions of 1914-1919 British forces. The university contingent of the British Officers Training Corps is represented alongside wider regimental ties, making the book useful to researchers consulting academic military archives. It is equally a genealogy research resource for those tracing University of Glasgow alumni and a readable entry point for anyone drawn to first world war Britain. Researchers will use it alongside regimental histories to confirm service links and to map the university’s contribution to Britain’s wartime mobilisation.Historically, the register offers a direct, documentary link between campus and conflict: a focused resource that complements Scottish regimental history and the study of first world war Britain. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Its sober clarity makes it useful to local historians, exhibition curators and anyone assembling regimental biographies; at the same time it remains approachable for casual reading. Esteemed as both a research tool and a tactile object of provenance, it suits the casual reader at home and classic-literature collectors who prize quiet significance.
