World War I Roll of Honour - The Clove Club Hackney Downs School

Life here is deadly dull. Monotony and disease are the worst enemies, whilst the food is none too
good (I may be a bit fastidious!). Sometimes a band comes out of its lair to provide a little music, and when I
have mentioned that and some comic relief provided by a gang of Maltese at rock-blasting I have said all. The
country is barren, with a few attempts at a village several miles apart - in short, this is no place for a civilized
being, but an admirable locality where one might banish the Kaiser.
Curiously enough, I ran across another Old Grocer who was being invalided home. We had a pleasant
chat, and he seemed to remember Mr.Hammond’s history classes more than anything else.”
