A landmark work of remembrance and institutional history, Geelong Collegians at the Second World War and Subsequent Conflicts chronicles the extraordinary wartime service of former students of Geelong College, one of Australia's most distinguished private schools. Compiled and edited by James Affleck, the volume documents the lives, sacrifices, and military contributions of the men who left their school desks to serve in the most devastating conflict of the twentieth century and in the armed struggles that followed — from Korea and Malaya to Vietnam and beyond. Drawing on meticulous archival research, personal testimonies, and institutional records, Affleck presents a rich tapestry of individual courage set against the broader canvas of Australian military history. The work stands as both a tribute and a scholarly record, honouring those who served while preserving their stories for future generations. Published by The Geelong College Foundation, this signed copy — inscribed in July 2010 and dedicated to the memory of Henry Norman Burgess Wettenhall — carries the particular weight of personal history, leaving the reader to wonder at the countless lives touched by these forgotten yet vital stories.
