Notes
Ged Martin (see References) offers this brief insight: ‘The death of L.H. Stern in 1915 drew a full and evidently heartfelt tribute. Son of a London rabbi and educated at the middle-class University College School, he taken a First in Classics in 1913 and gone on to sit the Historical Tripos the following year. He also played Rugby for the College, was an active participant in the Kingsley Club, its intellectual coterie, and active as a youth leader in Jewish organisations as well as serving in the OTC. For all its shortcomings, Victorian and Edwardian Magdalene was never anti-Semitic, and the Magazine proudly quoted his commanding officer's tribute: 'He met his death leading his men in the true British way.''
