sheddingswasus Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi everyone Due for release in October 2018, this is the latest and arguably the greatest publication from the Oldham Rugby League Heritage Trust. Four years of research has provided a fascinating insight as to how the club survived the First World War. 190 A4 pages - Packed with facts, figures and images, the book, hardback and in full colour, deals with the running of the club during one of the darkest periods in the history of the country. Read how just finding 13 players to pull on the jersey became a major struggle with so many of the club’s personnel away in the services. The poignant letters home from players and officials writing from the trenches - filled with hope and despair! How the mood of the country changed as the “home before Christmas” attitude gave way to the realisation that the conflict would endure for years. The bravery and sadness as some players were honoured and others were lost. The trust are giving you the opportunity to place your family memory / dedication into the book.

Pre-sales are going very well - may be worth getting your name down soon as at this rate it may sell out very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
