  • Footballers' Battalion
    From Illustrated First World War: http://www.illustratedfirstworldwar.com/item/photograph-trj01007_19150224_0040 THE FOOTBALLERS’ BATTALION & THE CHURCH : THE BISHOP OF BIRMINGHAM CONDUCTING A SERVICE AT THE WHITE CITY "It is interesting to notice the change which has come about, since the outbreak of war, with regard to the attitude of sport-lovers in general and footballers in particular. Incidentally, it is an instance of how easy it is to be unjust in jumping at conclusions. No sport-lovers were more held up to something like contempt than those who continued to attend football matches, instead of enlisting. And now we have a Footballers’ Battalion, smart, well-set-up, and patriotically keen on their duty. The Battalion is one of the most useful of the branches of the new Army, and the Footballers are proving themselves particularly alert in shaping for their work. Our photograph shows tho Battalion at a Church service conducted by the Bishop of Birmingham, Dr. Russell Wakefield"
