I prefer "armed forces", as "military" primarily implies armies/soldiery (see, for example, the entry on page 797 of Chambers 20th Century Dictionary, 1987 edition). DuncanHill ( talk) 11:08, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I've got all the list referenced (a lot with the webalumnus TSFPA site - which is great for years at school but a proverbial pain to reference from) except two: Hugh Walpole and Geoffrey Healey (Peter King needs dates at school). The web seems abundant with information gleaned from en.wiki, but can't pin down any others. I'm sure their notable and uncontrovertable to remain, but it would be nice for completeness if there was something reliable to ref to.
Also, are we justified in using the term "Old Truronians" - is there anything we can cite to so it doesn't look like a made-up term?! — User:MDCollins ( talk) 00:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
The ODNB entry for Walpole says he went to Newham House in Truro - was this the same school? As for Old Truronian - it doesn't look made up to me. Truronian is usual for someone or something from Truro (hence the famous bus company), and Old xxx is normal for former pupils of British schools. DuncanHill ( talk) 00:33, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I've scoured the Truro School archives and there are no references to Hugh Walpole or Peter King attending the school, could they be removed from the OT list please? I have seen Hugh Walpole listed as a pupil in the nursery class of Truro High School, which admitted girls and boys, in its admission register from the late 19th century, hence the Truronian connection but he did not go to Truro School. Also I believe Peter King went to Truro Cathedral School not Truro School. I have done extensive research on former pupils of the school who participated in World War Two, and if such a notable soldier went to the school, I am sure there would have been several references to him in contemporary and later material in the school archive.

I object to the move from List of Old Truronians - the title was consistent with the category, and is the British English usage. "Truro School alumni" is not British English, and is a needless change. DuncanHill ( talk) 23:53, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
This article was created in order to split the alumni list from the Truro School parent article. However, User:Corbynz has objected to this and has insisted on plain reverting everything without discussion and re-instating the list of alumni into the parent article. Discussion has taken place at Talk:Truro School and further opinion has been requested from WT:WPSCH#List of Alumni articles (Truro School) which seems to indicate support for the split. If you wish to comment, please do so at either discussion.— User:MDCollins ( talk) 00:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
