The Gordon Highlanders from Bedford

The Gordon Highlanders from Bedford sent a team to Rushden to play the Thursday Club a football match for the Soldiers’ Clothing Fund on Thursday of last week. The soldiers preceded by the pipers, paraded the town, and a large crowd visited the Windmill football ground to see the match. The Highlanders won a good game by five goals to one. The game realised £10 5s., which is being spent on body belts and socks for the soldiers. The arrangements were made by the following committee: Messrs T Neville (chairman), E Beirton, W Fortescue, L Nichols, W Ambridge, H Baker, E Woolston, F Wilkins, J Brooke, and F Swindall (hon. secretary).
