This book tells the fascinating story of West Ham United Football
Club during the First World War, charting the relationship between
war and football by following the pursuits of West Ham from 1913/14
to 1918/19. In many ways, it was their success in wartime
competitions that led to them being accepted into the Football
League in 1919, paving the way for subsequent FA Cup and League
success. As well as a football story, this book is about the impact
of the war on Britain. It documents the social implications of war
on Londoners and the social and political influence of football,
the armed forces and civilians alike. Looking closely at the 13th
Service Battalion, also known as the 'West Ham Pals', the book
includes such players as George Kay, Ted Hufton, and their manager
and coach, Syd King and Charlie Paynter respectively.
