'The second of three brothers, who were all in No. 9, Edgar Robinson made a distinct mark, in a quiet way, during his School career, especially as a runner. He passed through Sandhurst, obtained a commission in the North Lancashire Regiment, and was promoted Lieutenant in 1913. His regiment formed part of the original Expeditionary Force, and on September 14th, 1914, he was posted Missing. In the absence of any further information, he is now presumed to have been killed.'
