'Owen Dennis was
killed by a shell when he was directing his battery’s fire from the
infantry trenches. His Major states that he considered him to be the
smartest officer. Throughout the time that he was at the front he
displayed unflinching bravery. This was quite in accordance with what
we noted in him at school. He had a definite aim before him, and he showed steady resolution in attaining it. He served his school and his country well.' (Malvernian, Dec 1914).
