Most of them returned safely, some wounded, some scarred. Some were the bravest of the brave and received the appropriate honours and awards. Sadly, some paid the supreme sacrifice. One hundred years on, in a year commemorating Anzac Day, we are grateful for their contribution and thankful that in their memory we can enjoy the great game of cricket as part of a freedom they fought so hard to protect and preserve. Their names will remain in the annals of this club as heroes irrespective of the extent of their involvement and participation in the world’s deadliest conflict. A Roll of Honour for each club follows. First or full names have been included where known. PETERSHAM est. 1899 Petersham District Cricket Club had the honour of having 54 of its members and former members serve in World War I. Unfortunately, four of them made the ultimate sacrifice being killed on active service while three others died of wounds and another through sickness. The ravages of war were never more evident than the emotional turmoil and heartbreak experienced by William Seabrook who played with Petersham in 2nd and 3rd Grade in 1914-15. His three sons George (aged 25), Theo (24) and William Keith (21) (all pictured) were killed on 20 September 1917 fighting together with the 17th Battalion in a fierce battle against the Germans at Ypres, Belgium. Theo Seabrook played with his father in 3rd Grade in 1914-15 scoring 140 runs with 30 his best. Cecil Cleary (aged 24) a 3rd Grade player between 1911 and 1914 was also killed on 20 September 1917 at Polygon Wood, Belgium, part of the Third Battle of Ypres. He was wounded three times before losing his life. His brother played with the Petersham 2nd Grade team. Cecil Hubert Perrott (27) died in Turkey on 22 August 1915. He played with the Petersham “IV Team” in 1914-15. Eric Neal Clamp Leggo (24), a medical student, died in France on 20 October 1918.
