HibeeJibee Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 With the approach of Remebrance Sunday, and the ongoing commemoration of the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War, a number of books have started appearing about Scottish football - or individual clubs - during one or both World Wars... Some of these, I have only come across by chance, so I thought a thread might be an idea for those of us interested in the subject. No doubt there are others already published or on the way. Or even others from years and decade past. If so, do please post. Hearts at War: 1914-1919 by Tom Purdie Hibernian FC: The War Years 1939-1946 by Brian Mark (A5 Pamphlet published 1994) Ayr United at War by Duncan Carmichael The Celtic, the Glasgow Irish and the Great War - Vol 1: The Storms Break by Ian McCallum Aye Ready - Rangers War Heroes by Paul Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
