War Fund Shield
Page created: 19 July 2020
Updated:
Two war-time competitions to help raise funds for
footballers and their families who fought in the Great War, the entrants being
all Scottish League clubs. For the latter competition, no trophy was awarded as
it wasn't ready. It was intended to be an annual tournament, but the war ended
later that year.
