Foreword by Alan Ramsay, Director of Education, includes: Shortly after the First World War there was published "The Education Department's Record of War Service" - a book that has an honoured place in all our schools. ... This book is the record of the part played by the teachers and children in our schools during the Second World War of 1939-1945 ... It tells the story of the schools' war effort in those critical years when war came very close to our shores and when everyone was called on to bear a share of the war effort.
