Letter to the Editor - City of Chelsea News (8/9/1944)

Sir - At the dinner given last Saturday by Cr Cheeseman to the boys of the Chelsea Football Club, due recognition was paid to that magnificent episode when the playing team offered its services to the nation and enlisted in the armed forces.

Here are their names - Ern Musgrove, Roy Smith, Claude Smith, Joe Johnstone, Harry Lesser, Teddy Saw, Charles Bayliss, Albe Evans, Claude Dowse, Arthur Dowse, Archie McDonald, Charlie Mitchell, Paddy Seymour, Les Townsend, Jack Dunn, Jack Maloney, Ernie Hendriksen.

When the time arrives and we have a fit and proper place wherein to store our honour board these names and others who have since joined with them will be affixed therein in grateful rememberance.

Lest we forget. - Yours etc., FRANK PEARSON—President, Chelsea Football Club.
