1918 Short Half

Short Half 1918 (Aged 14)I returned to Winchester on Oct 9, and was up to Mr Duff in the middle part Mid Div 1 ending up 15/25. In exams I was 6th. He reports that I have worked steadily and made progress in spite of dreaminess at times, the best points being my Divinity and English essays.In Greek, very good.In Maths, I was up to Mr Durell, 8th out of 22 and he says that I have worked very well and made satisfactory progress.In French up to Mr Irving, who says that my elementary knowledge is very unsound, but that I can work and learn well.Mr Rendall remarks that in exams, I made a great advance making it difficult to account for my low place in form.Mr Bather is puzzled by this too, but says that I have worked well with a clear sense of duty and should eventually do very well.On the whole a good report.I played 3rd row in the for Junior Game, , we beat Commoners 11-2.In the 15s Commoners won all 4 and we beat College twice.I started in the O.T.C. and had to do 3 drills per week.
