World War Memorials

On Tuesday 4 August 1914, during the Long Vacation, Britain declared war on Germany. By 31 December 1914, 49 of the 69 undergraduates shown in the above photograph (of Worcester College members in June 1914) were serving in the armed forces.

The College emptied rapidly as many undergraduates were able to receive a commission quickly through their membership of the Oxford University Officers’ Training Corps. Worcester itself was used as quarters first for an Officer Training School, and then for a Company of an Officers’ Cadet Battalion.

South African Wars (1879–1915)

Series of conflicts

The South African Wars, including but also known as the Confederation Wars, were a series of wars that occurred in the southern portion of the African continent between 1879 and 1915. Ethnic, political, and social tensions between Europeancolonial powers and indigenous Africans led to increasing hostilities, culminating in a series of wars and revolts, which had lasting repercussions on the entire region. A key factor behind the growth of these tensions was the pursuit of commerce and resources, both by countries and individuals, especially following the discoveries of gold in the region in 1862 and diamonds in 1867.

Conflicts such as the First and Second Boer Wars, the Anglo-Zulu War, the Sekhukhune Wars, the Basotho Gun War, the Xhosa Wars, and other concurrent conflicts are typically considered separate events. However, they have also been viewed as outbreaks in a far larger continuous wave of change and conflict in the region, beginning with the Confederation Wars of the 1870s and 80s, escalating with the rise of Cecil Rhodes and the struggle for control of southern Africa's gold and diamonds and more, and leading up to the Second Anglo-Boer War and the establishment of the Union of South Africa in 1910.^[1
