You may have seen earlier this week, a message from the Principal, asking once again if members of our global community could visit the grave of their nearest fallen OB. We are asking our global community to place a poppy, or flower on the grave and send a photograph to principal@brightoncollege.net. We will then collate those photographs and share them on the OB Remembrance Map site - Brighton College Remembers.
Our interactive Remembrance Map is a striking visual of the impact of war on the College - each poppy representing one of 322 Old Brightonians who gave their lives in two World Wars. Clicking on each poppy provides an insight into the life and sadly, death of the OB - stories at once inspiring and poignant.

Whether it is a photo, uniform, diary, or program from a school play, every piece of history speaks to our shared journey. The Brighton College Archive contains hundreds of fascinating primary sources and we actively encourage interested OBs to get in touch and arrange a tour.
If you have any historic artefacts, documents, or memories from your College days that you would be willing to share with us, please contact our College Archivist, Mr James Harrison.
