rougvie Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Some great pictures here on cornishmemory of the Easter Monday fixture at Mount Wise in 1945 (2nd April) http://cornishmemory.com/item/ELL_D_745 Can anyone help identify the away team?

rougvie Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just found another one - don't know if it means the ref's from St Austell or they're the away team, or it's a Royal Marines XI? http://cornishmemory.com/item/ELL_D_739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 The way I read it is that the player on the left is the Cornwall capt - WH Monk and they were playing the Royal Marines who's captain was RY Wyatt. League football presumably was still suspended due to the war. The ref shall remain nameless - much like today quite often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornishteddyboy Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I used these photos in a Pz programme a while back for the history section. I like the way the referee is wearing a blazer. These ones are good as well http://cornishmemory.com/item/YOCN_5_225 http://cornishmemory.com/item/YOCN_5_077 http://cornishmemory.com/items/browse?search=football&advanced[0][element_id]=&advanced[0][type]=&advanced[0][terms]=&range=&collection=&type=&tags=&featured=&submit_search=Search+this+site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rougvie Posted November 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Thanks Dave. I forgot about the wartime football suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
