Of note: A commemorative plaque at the event grounds tells the story of Old Boy J. Campbell Clouston 1915 who attended Selwyn House then went on to LCC and McGill. He was responsible for the evacuation of allied troops during World War II at Dunkirk rescuing over 240,000 troops. The 2017 movie Dunkirk is based on this story.
