CAPTAIN PIERCE MANDEVILLE, 5th Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment, who was killed at the capture of the Schwaben Redoubt on September 28th 1916, was the eldest son of Mr Montague Mandeville of Mallow, Co. Cork.  He was on the reserve list of officers when war broke out in August 1914, and therefore joined his regiment immediately.  In April 1915 he went into the fighting line in France, and was engaged in the battle of the Somme from July 4th 1916 till the day of his death.  Unfortunately the school had the privilege of knowing him for one year only, before he was needed for active service, but we feel that he has brought us great honour by his exceptional courage, and we know that we have lost one who, by his sincerity and sense of humour, could not have failed to win the affection of all who learnt to know him.  Extreme thoroughness and earnestness characterised all his work in the classroom, and the same traits were seen in the discharge of his duties as an officer in the school contingent of the O.T.C.  Here he was found to be not only an efficient and zealous soldier, but a leader by whose inspiration the Cadets could not fail to profit.
