The two deceased came from Surrey, joined the College in 1910 and left in 1914, having been in the same House. In that year they both received temporary commissions in the 7th Battn, The Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regt, and they were killed within two months of each other on the Western front in 1916. Freeman, having been seconded to the RFC, was killed in a flying accident in Flanders, and Whittet in action on the Somme.
