This week’s pictures from the past

How many players survived the war?

How many players survived the war? Here we have a Shrewsbury football team of old. It is Shrewsbury YMCA (Thursday) F.C. during the 1913-14 season.

The First World War was on the horizon, so it’s a sobering thought that it is likely that some of these young men were soon to lose their lives.

This picture was given to Shrewsbury historian David Trumper by Mrs Vera Briscoe, of south Shropshire.
