Details |
Mr F. J. Wall, secretary of the Football Association, sits at a table at the association's headquarters, ready to pay members of the Footballers' Battalion. The caption comments that around 120 men had joined so far, with Clapton Orient being the most prominent for numbers, but 'of course, very many more are wanted - and would come, if Cup tie gates did not make national existence kick the beam.'
