Among the million plus British and Empire soldiers that fell in the slaughter of The Great War were an elite band of international rugby players. Tragically, over 130 'caps' from England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and France lost their lives. Even their legendary strength, fitness and courage were not enough to save them. This book contains a brief history of international rugby up to and including The First World War as well as biographies of each player along with their individual and team photographs.
