About this talk
Over a century ago, many Worcester members were called up to fight in World War I. The Bursar at the time, F. J. Lys, intended to produce a book of remembrance to honour those who lost their lives in the conflict. The volume was never completed. The College is pleased to now fulfil Bursar Lys' original intention and produce Many Lives of Various Promise, a new book published with the support of John Goldsmith (1959, Chemistry). We invite you to join us on 11 November in our annual Act of Remembrance, followed by the launch of the book and a talk from distinguished historian and Honorary Fellow Sir Anthony Seldon FRSA FRHistS (1973, PPE). All are welcome for free at the Act of Remembrance outside the Chapel. The book launch, talk and lunch is £18pp. Bookings for either element, and pre-orders of the book, can be made at https://www.worc.ox.ac.uk/research/collections/archives/world-war-memorials/many-lives
