Each year, at Seaford’s Remembrance Sunday service, students read out the names on the Roll of Honour – the 57 Old Seafordians who died in the First and Second World Wars.

The College chapel contains two commemorative plaques listing the names of the fallen and we remember them in our prayers.

But what do we know about these young men, many of whom had only recently left the College with their whole lives ahead of them?

This question is one that Old Seafordian and amateur historian Neil Rosoman has recently sought to answer. In this video, he reveals some of the fascinating and moving stories of these young men who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

As Neil says, there is still much that we don’t know, and we’re appealing for more information about any of the 57 (see list below) from the wider Seaford community. To send stories, pictures, etc, please email alumni@seaford.org, or write to:
