Pembroke in WWI
In commemoration of the centenary of the outbreak of WWI, we have created these pages to share information about the war's impact on Pembroke College.
As well as information on the direct impact of WWI on Pembroke, we have brought together some additional material donated by people who have a connection to the College.
Please click on the relevant box for a more detailed description.
For more information about Oxford in WWI, see Oxford University’s WWI website at: http://www.ox.ac.uk/world-war-1
The College in Wartime: this gives an outline of the impact of war on the administration of the College and also brief biographies of the Fellows who were resident at the time.
Roll of Honour: these pages carry short biographies and images of the Pembroke alumni who gave their lives during the conflict.
The Art of George Weekes: is a gallery of the small sketches and paintings that were made by George Weekes, grandfather of Pembroke's legendary barman, who served during WWI.
This manual, for use in the field, was designed for conditions prevailing in camps and barracks, taking into account the food available as dictated by soldiers’ rations. It was owned by Violet Nye, mother of Lady Moyra Bannister, wife of Sir Roger, Master of Pembroke 1985-1993.
Charles Nye's letters, primarily written from the front line to his sister, Violet, as transcribed by Lady Moyra Bannister (daughter of Violet and wife of Sir Roger Bannister, Master of Pembroke 1985-1993). Lady Bannister has also added additional material, including photographs and an introduction to the Nye family.
