PATRIOTIC FOOTBALLERS.

A SPLENDID RECORD

OHRISTCHURCH CLUB'S ROLL OF

HONOUR.

A remarkable record in connexion "with the war has been established by tlio Christclvurch Football Club. The club's membership for some years past has averaged close upon 200 a year, yet no fewer than 134 members and cxmembers have enlisted and been accepted for service. "With the club's exmembers so widely scattered, many in different parts of the world, it has been found impossible to secure a full tally, and consequently only tho membership lists for the post four or five years have been scanned. Otherwise probably the total would prove to bo much larger. Many of the members have been from the first at the front; some have returned invalided, others are in training, whilst thirteen have made the supremo sacrifice. Three members—Lieutenants C. F. G. Humphries and R. Harper and BombardierFitter D. C. Inglis—have won the Distinguished Conduct Medal, the first in France, the other two at Gallipoli. Next year is the jubilee of the club, and if the war.be then over it is proposed to unveil a Roll of Honour in connexion with the war.

Following are'the names of those who now appear on the Roll of Honour (th o great majority are present members of the club): —
