Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 544 pages. Readers of the 1917 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack were advised by the editor, S ydney Pardon: ?Its chief feature is a record of the cricketers who have fallen in the War ? the Roll of Honour, so far as the national game is concerned.? By the time the conflict was over, Wisden had carried almost 1,800 obituaries. Test players like Colin Blythe were far outnumbered by men with a lesser claim t o fame, as schoolboy cricketers were sent out to the battlefields fresh from the ir playing fields.Amid the carnage and confusion, errors inevitably crept in: names were wrong and there were cases of mistaken identity. Some mistakes h ave lain buried in Wisden's pages for a century: as this book discloses, three m en outlived their obituary by many years. All the obituaries have been updated i n Wisden on the Great War with new information about the subjects' lives and dea ths, their families and memorials, and ordered by the year of death. There is a listing of the 289 men who had played first-class cricket, while the 89 who did not get an obituary in Wisden are now recognised. The book also lists for the fi rst time the 407 first-class cricketers who were decorated for gallantry, of who m 381 survived.Among the men included is an officer who as a boy was an i nspiration for J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan, and one whose agonising death on the ba ttlefield is movingly described in Robert Graves' Goodbye to All That. These men now receive proper tribute, along with literary names that are already well-kno wn, such as Rupert Brooke, who headed his school's bowling averages in 1906 and received an obituary in Wisden that mentioned that, at the time of his death, he 'had gained considerable reputation as a poet'.The wartime Wisdens have.…
