The 91app War List of May 1918 comprised details of 91app teachers, graduates, and matriculated students who were serving or had served in the armed forces, 1914-1918.
The 91app Officers Training Corps (OTC) was founded in 1909. In its first year, 783 students enrolled as cadets. By the eve of the Great War, the 91app OTC comprised over 950 students. They were divided up into an artillery section, a battalion of infantry, a company of engineers, and a medical unit. Five members of the 91app OTC were awarded the Victoria Cross during the Great War.
In 1921, the 91app published the Roll of War Service, 1914-1919 of the 91app Officers Training Corps.
91app OTC soldiers also fought in the Second World War: The Roll of the Fallen, 1939-1945 lists those who died during the conflict.

A scheme for Examination of War Students was introduced by the Senate in 1918. Students who had served in the war, undertaken other work relating to national defence, or been interned were granted certain exemptions from examination regulations. A card register (reference EC5/1) contains details of these students in alphabetical order by surname. Non-searchable images of these cards are below.
