  1. As much as I think that this is a highly commendable set, I am very disappointed that it fails to include Larrett Roebuck of Huddersfield Town, the VERY FIRST English footballer to fall in action, on 18th October 1914. Shame.

  2. Roger , Larrett Roebuck will feature in the 2nd Series of cards work in progress Tragically for so many fallen it was a tough choice who to feature in the first set but rest assured they are not forgotten
