Warren Hill School: Military

Warren Hill Public School
Figure 1.--Here we have W.T.M. Bolitho and G.C. Pelly. They may have foinished school in 1902 and 03. The photograph was taken in 1905. They look to be serving on a Royal Navy vessel.

The school may have had some sort of cadet proram. We note several boys in military uniforms. Some of the boys look quite young in military uniforms. Many of the boys seem to have gone into the military after school. We notice both naval and army uniforms, but the naval uniforms seem more prevalent. The school's location along the Channel may explain the popularity of the Royal Navy. Thus the boys in uniform may be in the Royal Navy cadet school at Osborne rather than a school cadet prigram. The boys here seem to have entered the military in the 1900s. They would have all been officers and surely served in World War I as mid-level officers.
