EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of camaraderie and unity within the 1st Football Battalion in 1914. The team, representing the Middlesex Regiment's 17th service, stands tall with pride as they pose for this historic group shot. In the back row, we see a formidable lineup of soldiers turned footballers. Among them are Sgt. Percy Barnfather from Croydon and Barnsley, Pte. William Henry Jones and Pte. William Booth both hailing from Brighton, George Beech also from Brighton, T. Gonsdale from Grimsby, Sgt. J. Smith representing Chesterfield, Sgt Yeoval whose name echoes with mystery and valor; alongside them stand Pte. Francis Martin from Grimsby and Pte. John Jackie Sheldon who played for Liverpool and Manchester United. At the forefront of this remarkable ensemble is an impressive front row featuring key figures such as Pte. Patrick Gallacher, Captain G. J Bell who exudes authority through his commanding presence; Lieut Vivian J. Woodward proudly donning his Chelsea colors; Captain Major Frank Buckley representing Bradford; Sidney Wheelhouse from Grimsby; Tommy Barber who played for Aston Villa; finally Lance Cpl Frederick Bullock adding strength to Huddersfield's representation. This photograph serves as a testament to these brave men who not only fought on the battlefield but also showcased their skills on the football pitch during World War I - a true embodiment of courage both in war
