Lord Roberts funeral and football in war, WW1
A Voice That is Still, And Ears Which Are Still Deaf. A page in the Tatler criticising the continued attendance at football matches of thousands of young, able men during the first months of the First World War. The top photograph shows the funeral procession of the late Field Marshal Roberts on its way to St. Pauls and the bottom a typical football crowd, taken at a match between Fulham and Clapton Orient. The Tatler asked, Why can they not listen to the now silenced call of the grand old man we buried last week and serve their country in the ranks of the new army? Date: 1914
