EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the unexpected fusion of golf and military service, featuring five professional golfers who had answered the call to duty and joined the Sportsmens Battalion during World War I. The image, dated 1915, showcases H. Fulford from Bradford, R. Jacobs of Bedford, E. Jones from Chislehurst, Jas. Bradbeer of Porters Park, and Pl. Holmes from Beeston Castle, all proudly wearing their military uniforms. The Sportsmens Battalion, also known as the 13th Reserve Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, was formed in 1914 to allow sportsmen and ex-sportsmen to serve together in a battalion of their own. The battalion was open to those who had previously excelled in various sports, including golf, cricket, rugby, and football. These golfing professionals, who had honed their skills on the fairways and greens, now found themselves in a different kind of competition – one that required courage, discipline, and unwavering commitment. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these athletes during the Great War, as they left their golf clubs behind to defend their country. The image is a captivating historical portrait, providing a unique glimpse into the lives of these golfing soldiers during a time of global conflict. The photograph's authenticity and historical significance make it an essential addition to any collection focused on golf, sports, military history, or the First World War.
