Introductory Greeting To all Old Cheltonians (male and female !) who read this page: Please contact me if you would like your name added to - or removed
from - the list of living O.C.s below (at no charge !) and spread the word of the existence of this page to the O.C. community worldwide.I have already notified Ian Carter, the College master who runs the Cheltenham College website, and the Cheltonian Society. In addition College has now been included in the UK Alumni Net. Look here !
This is an unofficial and informal web page created and administered by me on a voluntary basis intended to celebrate ("salute" may be a better word for a school with such a strong military tradition) a great school, and to promote contact between College and O.C.s throughout the world. I will try to ensure it is reasonably error-free and up-to-date, with your kind help.Let me know of O.C. gatherings and events if you would like me to publicise them on this page. However, it should be clearly understood that this page is intended to supplement (and encourage the development of) an official O.C. page rather than replace it.Finally if you have some more information which you feel belongs here I would urge you to tell me what you know, and I will (most probably ;-) put it on the web page.Floreat !

The author explains in the Preface that this is "moreof
a scrap book than a formal history, and like all scrap books it
reflects the tastes and interests of its compilers and depends
on what in the way of pictures and documents may be available
to them".
