Not for ourselves alone. The quotation comes from Cicero's De Officiis 1:22. Non nobis solum nati sumus ortusque nostri partem patria vindicat, partem amici. Not for ourselves alone are we born; our country, our friends, have a share in us. Henry Edwardes, a graduate of St John's College, Cambridge, had been a Classics master at Abingdon School before he joined up in the autumn of 1914. Their website commemorates his service.
