The formative years of many of the countries leaders and heroes were to be spent at the school.  Just the 20th boy to attend would be killed in action in 1879 at the tragedy that was Isadlwana.  Over the ensuing 101 years another 301 Old Boys and Staff of the school would die serving their country. 

Some were professional soldiers who had attained high rank. Others were fresh out of the countries leading public schools and died in their youth. Still more were professionals who gave up their careers to enlist at the outbreak of the war.   All, however, shared the same common link - Summer Fields.

In No Time to Spare? Chris Sparrow tells their valiant story by cleverly intertwining their deaths into the history of the conflicts in which they served. Chris joined Summer Fields in 1999.
