Aubrey Turquand entered Appleby College in 1911. He was the Head Prefect in 1914. He was killed at Ypres in 1916. In 2002 a delegation from the College's Cadet Corps visited the site of his memorial. In the College Chapel a plaque commemorates Aubrey, reading in part, "And who before the age of 20 fulfilled to the uttermost the duties of a Canadian and a man." -
