A collection of 116 short portrait biographies of Grey High School (Port Elizabeth) students who laid down their lives in the Second World War.
'The decision to prepare this book of remembrance in honour of the Grey lads who fell in the Second World War is altogether fitting and timely. True, their names already glorify the wall in the Quadrangle and that is a lasting tribute to their self sacrifice. We recall with grateful recollection that it was unveiled by the greatest of South Africa's sons (Field-Marshall Jan Smuts), who called our youth to arms and himself matched their response with the measure of his own intrepid labours. We who remain, secure by reason of others' devotion, have need to treasure our liberty as something bought with a great price.' - Foreword
