Clifton Chapel.

Clifton is one of the schools from which the largest number of boys pass direct into the R.M.A., Woolwich, and R.M.C., Sandhurst.  Thirty-five Old Cliftonian officers served in the campaign of 1897 on the Indian Frontier, of whom twenty-two were mentioned in despatches and six recommended for the Distinguished Service Order.  Of the three hundred Cliftonians who served in the war in South Africa, thirty were killed in action and fourteen died of wounds or fever.

  Clifton, remember these thy sons who fell
    Fighting far oversea;
  For they in a dark hour remembered well
   Their warfare learned of thee.

The Echo.

The ballad was “The Twa Sisters of Binnorie,” as set by
Arthur Somervell.

THE END.
