Wrexham FC and World War One
"The directors further announced that among the players who had joined the colours were : Arthur Berry, the international amateur and Oxford Blue. Tenner, Goode, Llew Morris, S Hughes and the trainer Mitchell - besides a host of the clubs supporters. A resolution of sympathy was passed with the President of the club Mr F W Soames in the loss he had sustained of his son Captain A H Soames Royal Flying Corps. The meeting also referred to the suspension of The Birmingham League -' There would be no serious football town next season'. 'A few friendly matches might be arranged but nothing definite could be said at present' No doubt over the years other members of the clubs staff would have signed up or been conscripted but I do not know of any on record. As to the ones who went to war - One can only guess how many returned alive. Perhaps others on here will know more detail. 1914 - 1918 remembered.

Re: Wrexham FC and World War One
Sadly the book on the index of players to have played for Wrexham is only from 1921.
This is going to be difficult, especially as unfortunately we are playing tomorrow and not today. Would it not be a nice gesture if no other threads superceded this one tomorrow, or at least between 11.00 and 12.oo noon. Though there appears to be no record of people connected with the club who fell in the Great War the club certainly would have lost supporters and the town and out lying villages numerous footballers. |

However it was two young lads so perhaps just a mistake and not realising? It was deleted quickly so i'm sure this was just a mistake. Doubt very much it was meant to be disrespectfull. We arrived at the ground early for a look around and WSM had the music blasting an PA announcer practicising all the way through 11:00-11:02, perhaps no one looked at the time? In fairness to WSM the tribute prior to kick off was top notch and impecably observed by everyone inside the ground. Unfortunate & regrettable mistake I'm sure.....but a mistake and nothing else by the looks with it being removed. |
