Programme of events
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Prize Day to celebrate with my colleagues, our pupils and their families, present and past, the outstanding achievements of Marlburians during the year, many of which are recorded in this programme.

The underlying theme for this Prize Day is stability and change. Whilst Marlborough is changing physically, with the spectacular refurbishment of our beloved Memorial Hall, the creation of stunning Dancy House, and exciting Science and Innovation plans afoot, still its core values remain constant. At the heart of what we do remains a tradition of academic excellence, a respect for the individual, a belief in meritocracy, and a commitment to ensuring that our young men and women leave this special place not only with the exam grades they will need for university, college and employment, but with the interpersonal skills and qualities they will need to lead happy, fulfilling and successful lives.

The Waterloo Band and Bugles T
he Waterloo Band and Bugles of The Rifles is a band of The Army Reserves based at Edward Brooks Barracks in Abingdon. All the musicians and buglers here today are Reserve soldiers, loyally committed not only to the busy schedule of the Waterloo Band but holding down full-time jobs ranging from teachers, translators, psychologists, civil servants and train drivers, as well as juggling normal family commitments. The band draws its musicians and buglers from all over the South of England.
The Waterloo Band & Bugles is one of the busiest (and one of the largest) Reserve bands, fulfilling over 70 engagements in the last year both nationally and overseas. The Director of Music, Major Lawrence Sale, joined the Band in June 2018 from the Regular Army, having retired in September 2017, as Director of Music to the Scots Guards.
The Bands and Bugles of The Rifles uphold traditions dating back as far as the Napoleonic Wars, using bugles to communicate orders on the battlefield. A unique style of music has evolved to match The Rifles faster than normal marching pace, maintaining the tradition of the Rifles motto “Swift and Bold”. The regiment’s emblem of the silver bugle features heavily within the band’s bugles, on our buttons, as part of their cap badge and is the name of one of their most popular marches: Silver Bugles. 5

After his death, it was found that he had saved no less than £200 out of his pay, which he intended to devote towards paying part of his expenses at Cambridge once the war was over. This money forms the basis of the prize. At Marlborough he was a Prefect and won a Scholarship in Engineering Science to Clare College, Cambridge, in 1913. Instead he enlisted in the 18th (Public Schools) Battalion Royal Fusiliers, later obtaining a Commission in the Royal Flying Corps.

He was wounded in aerial combat at the beginning of July 1916, but was soon able to fly again. On 19th July he was reported missing. Six months later news came through the German Red Cross that he had been shot down and killed on that very day, and some months later his grave was found at Le Verguier, north of St. Quentin.
