interesting site about Boro & First World War

https://www.footballandthefirstworldwar.org/middlesbrough-first-world-war/


just came across this . Makes you realise how much we have less to worry about than those guys

Ps the team photos are interesting when you check out the tab upper left
. Also sad to read about Andrew Jackson who died on the western front weeks before the armistice :cry:

At the bottom of that roll down tab put Middlesbrough in the search button and you get stacks more info

My Nana made metal for the Railway lines basically for peanuts through the war. She utterly despised the owners for the rest of her days.
My Grandad who died in his early 40's never got over his injuries, the financial backup was zero.
