War -- 2. ‘King’ Football -- 3. Football under Siege -- 4. Women, War and Football -- 5. Football and the Military -- 6. Conscription -- 7. 'Like Old Times' -- 8. Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Index.The book explores the intersection between the Great War and patriotism through an examination of the effects of both on Australia’s most popular football code. The work is chronological, and therefore provides an easy path by which events may be followed. Ultimately it seeks to shine a light on and provide considerable detail to a much-ignored period in Australian Rules football history, including women’s football history, that was subject to much upheaval and which reflected considerable social and class divisions in society at the time. One hundred years on, the Australian Football League presents past soldier footballers as unequivocal representatives of a unifying national ‘Anzac’ spirit. That is far from the reality of football’s First World War experience.Palgrave Studies in Sport and Politics,2365-998XIslands of the Pacific—HistoryHistory, ModernMilitary historySocial historyWorld politicsAustralasian Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/716000Modern Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/713000History of Militaryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/721000Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Islands of the Pacific—History.History, Modern.Military history.Social history.World politics.Australasian History.Modern History.History of Military.Social History.Political History.796.336Blair Daleauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut946321Hess Robauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254772003321Australian Rules Football During the First World War2137977UNINA
