Football Competition, 1915
Heslop’s Local Advertiser 22/01/1915 reports:

Our readers would see in the “Illustrated Chronicle” of Monday, January 11th, the picture of the football competition held among the different battalions of the Naval brigade, now interned at Groningen, Holland, as prisoners of war. The captain of the team which won the medals, was a scholar of St. John’s Boys’ School, Peter McNulty being his name.

The present boys of the school have formed a fund, for the purpose of sending cigarettes to the hapless chaps in Holland, and a fair supply has already been sent.

Mr. Curry, the headmaster, would be delighted to receive the name of any of the old boys, whose names have been omitted.
