This year marks eighty years since the Allied victories over Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. We will mark this very special anniversary by recognising the sacrifice of those Old Bedians who fell in 1945, paying the ultimate sacrifice in the final battles of the conflict.

The year of victory was tinged with the tragedy of loss for the College. Eight of Our Boys lost their lives in 1945 as the Second World War entered its deadly endgame. As we rightly celebrate what they fought for, we need to take time to recognise and show our gratitude for their sacrifice.
