Yorkshire Rugby Football Union : Commemoration Book 1914-19
Overview
This memorial volume, that is rare in its original 1919 printing, was produced to commemorate those players who didn't come back from the wartime years 1914-1919.
It is dedicated to those soldiers who were killed, died or who were missing. It importantly includes 249 full-page photographic portraits of the fallen, with useful details including: Regiment, Battalion, Rugby club belonged to, Date of Death and, noted on some entries, additional information such as "Missing first gas attack Battle of Ypres April 22nd 1918". This is a wonderful and contemporary tribute to those sportsmen who served and fell for their King and country.
Besides those who did not return, it also contains a roll, by college or club, of all who joined the forces during the Great War and survived.
