It makes a speciality of how the nice struggle used to be skilled via different key contributors, specifically these groups curious about 'schooling' the nation's childrens. It emphasises the necessity to learn the 'myriad faces of war', instead of conventional stereotypes, if we're to realize a deeper knowing of private organisation and choice making in instances of clash and upheaval. The dramatis personae in Roll of Honour contain Head lecturers and Governors charged through the govt with mobilising their 'troops'; university masters, whose enlistment, conscription or conscientious objection to army carrier replaced lives and occupation paths; the 'temporary' tuition mistresses who sought to illustrate their 'interchangeability' in male ruled associations; the college alumni who considered tuition when knee-deep in dust; and eventually, after all, the college little ones themselves, whose 'campaigns' additional important assets to the battle economic system. those 'myriad faces' existed in every kind of British university, from the elite Public faculties to the trouble-free colleges designed for the country's poorest waifs and strays.
