In 1950, St Peter's College, Saltley celebrated its centenary. The occasion was marked with a number of events, one of which was the publication of this book. A lively mixture of history and anecdote, it not only tells the story of the first hundred years of the College, but also offers something of the flavour of life at a much-loved establishment - the dedication of the staff, the humour of the students, and the sacrifices they all made in pursuit of their chosen profession and the protection of their country.
