Handwritten caption: Of the signatories, H W Engleheart obtained the VC [Victoria Cross] in the Boer War; H W Bryant kept wicket as an amateur for Middlesex; and J Samuels captained the Past v Present XI on Founder's Day for many years, scoring over 1100 runs in the match, and also arranged for a cutting to be taken of the mulberry tree in the playground of the old buildings (said to be one of the original trees introduced by James I) and planted between the road and the lodge of the present [Queens Road] buildings, where it now grows.
