Wellington College supported the war effort in several ways. The school suffered deaths on the Western Front as old boys fought. Teachers like JP Firth wrote letters to old students and the school newspaper covered the war. Students also helped with fundraising, welcoming back soldiers, and cadets guarded wharves. Certificates were even given for bayonet practice at the school.
