Description
The Final Whistle: Rugby's Pivotal Role in World War I In the years leading up to World War I, rugby grounds across Britain became training grounds for war. This book tells the poignant story of 15 men who played for Rosslyn Park, London, and their experiences during the Great War. These players came from diverse backgrounds, united by their love of the game and their courage in the face of conflict. The history follows them as they travel to various fronts, including the Western Front, Mesopotamia, Turkey, Italy, and Dublin, through some of the war's fiercest battles. A unique and moving tribute to the role of rugby in World War I, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the sport or the history of the Great War.
