Abstract
CAMBRIDGE.—The fifth edition of the War List of the University was published by the Cambridge Review on November 15, and is an impressive quarto volume. It consists of 90 pp. and cover, and contains more than 11,000 names. Trinity College has 2500; Pembroke 1052, Gonville and Caius 952; Clare 750; Emmanuel 648; Trinity Hall 603; Jesus 559; King's 556; Christ's 540; and St. John's 513. The other colleges also show a great increase in numbers. The list not only contains the names of past and present members of the University who are serving in every branch of both Services, but, so far as is known, after each name appears the honours awarded for distinguished service; also, alas ! the large number of both killed and wounded. It is a record of which the University may well be proud, showing, as it does, Cambridge University's fine spirit. There are 614 killed, nearly 900 wounded, and 123 prisoners and missing. The distinctions comprise:—Mentioned in Despatches, 241; V.C., 3; D.S.C., 1; D.S.O., 36; Military Cross, 48; D.C.M., 4; K.C.B., 1; C.B., 2; C.M.G., 6; Medaille Militaire, 4; Croix de Chevalier, 10; Croix de Guerre, 4; Russian Orders, 5; Serbian Order, 1.
