|1919, but the Bradford League carried on. It proved to be an unlikely |

|sanctuary for players such as Jack Hobbs, S F Barnes and Frank |

|WW1 : Cricket Item |

|Lords, the Long Room was given over to the club’s ground staff who set |

|about tasks such as weaving nets for military horses feed. At the same |

|time the Nursery Ground became a makeshift goose farm, whilst in 1914 the|

|ground was used as a training ground for the Army Service Corps. |

| |

|On this day (23rd August) |

|the first battle fought by the British army against the | |

|Germans on the Western Front in the Great War. | |

|Four divisions of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) | |

|struggled with the German 1st Army over the 60 foot wide | |

|Mons Canal in Belgium, near the French frontier. | |

|Although the British fought well, they were heavily | |

|outnumbered by the Germans and were forced to retreat. | |
