Honour rolls record recipients of the Victoria Cross, Distinguished Service Order, Military Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, Military Medal, Croix de Guerre and numerous other British and foreign distinctions.

Among the notable accounts is that of Lieutenant William Donovan Joynt, V.C., describing the former pupil's conspicuous bravery during the fighting at Herleville Wood in August 1918. Another illustrated memorial records Captain William Reginald Hoggart, a master and senior officer of the school cadets who enlisted with the 14th Battalion and was killed in action at Gallipoli.

Together, these five consecutive volumes form an important primary-source archive for researchers of the ANZAC experience, Australian military biography, Melbourne history, genealogy and private-school life. The combination of extensive wartime documentation, named and illustrated biographical material, broad chronological coverage and matching presentation bindings makes this a highly desirable institutional record of considerable historical significance.
