World War 1 commemoration - Greyed roses

Several sporting events this weekend have featured a minute's silence to remember the fallen. (Traditionally clubs will hold this event on their home game nearest 11th November.) Of course, my thoughts always go to the sportsmen who made the supreme sacrifice- among them Walter Tull, Edgar Mobbs, Dave Gallaher and those men commemorated in the 'greyed roses' picture at Twickenham.

27 England internationals lost their lives. Next Saturday we'll be sailing into Zeebrugge so I'll be remembering Arthur Harrison who took part in the raids there.
