- The military has always
recognised the value of sport to
- help maintain fitness in an
enjoyable manner
- help fill in the times of
little activity and keep the troops occupied
- help maintain a competitive
mentality
- to keep a high level of
ability to withstand pain
- Even in the maelstrom of the
Great War Sports Carnivals were organised. The images below will
give an indication of the amount of effort the Army was prepared
to put into it.
