In November, we honour those men and women who gave their lives in conflicts around the world.
Since our last Remembrance match against Middlesbrough (7 November 2020), Paul Briers’ ongoing research into the Club’s former players, from 1889 to the 1920s, has led to the discovery of three additional Bees who are now due for recognition for their service and ultimate sacrifice during the First World War.
In today’s issue, we pay tribute to Alfred William Mehew, Percy Charles Matthews and Thomas Pryce Hamer.
Hamer, Paul’s most recent discovery, is the 17th member of Brentford Football Club known to have fallen during the First World War. This brings the total remembered over the two World Wars to 20, plus six guest players.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
