A book titled Leaders: Profiles in Courage and Bravery in War and Peace 1917-2020 has been published by Unicorn Publishing Group.
Documenting singular actions by OPs during a turbulent century since the College was founded, it highlights a number of outstanding Second World War and post-1945 military and civilian heroes as well as recounting noteworthy exploits in the world of international sport.
Compiled and written by OP Robin Knight (56-61), the book consists of 254 pages, 15 chapters on built around individual themes, and numerous colour and black-and-white images. Much of the text is woven around overlooked or neglected first-person accounts written by OPs as well as contemporary interviews conducted by the author about OP involvement in conflicts in the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
In a Foreword, Captain Peter Hore RN writes: “Fortiter ac Fideliter, or ‘bravely and faithfully,’ is a superb motto, and in the lives of Old Pangbournians recorded here, Robin Knight compellingly and inspiringly explores how this motto has been translated into action by generations of OPs.”
