EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience during a tumultuous time in history. The RAF XI team, representing the Royal Air Force during the 1940/41 football season, poses proudly for this group shot at RAF Cosford. Standing tall in the back row are Hill from Dulwich, Alf Young from Huddersfield, Bert Williams from Walsall, Arthur Smith from Chelsea, and John Jack Acquroff from Hull. In front of them stands Albert Newman from Walsall, two unidentified players whose names have been lost to time but not their contribution to the team's success, Frank Hill who played for Blackpool and Arsenal, Bobby "Robert". Farrell representing Brighton, and A. C Fowler hailing from Leeds. The date etched on this historical piece is August 1st, 1940 - a period when World War II was raging on. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how sports brought people together even amidst chaos and conflict. It symbolizes hope and unity within the ranks of those serving their country. Colorsport / Wilkes has expertly captured this moment in time with remarkable clarity. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen by history's lens, we are transported back to an era where bravery both on the field and off defined these valiant individuals who fought for freedom while pursuing their passion for football.
