Unbfortunately have drawn blank on the Guys Roll so must be another hospital. Will try Middx and London. Useful link, for which many thanks

One very good name at Guys - EV Knight - captain of Bedford school XV and given the strong Bedford/Park connection, one worth searching in our own records. Would be an occasional player,as despite him being an England reserve centre, he does not appear in any team photo for Park.

best wishes

Yes, noted and thanks. There are many potential Park links also (eg Knight and Hogden at Bedford School) which will bear examination if we can find them in our members records.

It would however appear that the medical students played rugby 'promiscuously' for a number of clubs and may not have always paid their subs (and therefore been in the records). I have a report from Otago NZ of a 1909 Park game against Blackheath with 5 London Hospital NZ medics, very few of whom are recorded in our minutes. (The chap who sent back the report was a registered member, I am pleased to say, and survived the war).
