Last game of the 1914-15 season would make this a 2-0 victory over Leicester City

This fantastic footage shows the aftermatch farewell parade by the17th Battalion Middlesex Regiment - 'the Footballers' Battalion. In total 41 Clapton Orient footballers and staff joined up into the 17th to serve King and country. The O's were the first Football League club to join up 'en masse'.

The ten Clapton Orient footballers that signed up on the day took part in the parade, having immediately changed out of their famous red chevron shirts and blue shorts into khaki uniforms.

The three players are not shown coming on to the pitch. Several of those seen can be identified however - the first one seen is the O's captain and the first player in the whole country to join up into the 17th Middlesex - Fred 'Spider' Parker, the third one is the Orient 'keeper Jimmy Hugall who was wounded twice and yet came back to play football after the war. The last player is Nolan 'Peggy' Evans. Evans was severely wounded during the fighting in Devilles Wood.

ChadwellO, is it possible to identify the three fallen footballers you mention in the early sequence when they're running onto the pitch?
