This photo album will be on display in the Terrace Bar from Friday 8th November until Tuesday 12th November. It shows all Northern Football Club members who sadly died in WWII. Featured is former club president Angus McCracken, who on 1st Decemebr 1943, during the assault on Monte Camino, was wounded in the head by a mortar with the loss of his right eye. He died a week later. To commemorate McCracken and all he accomplished, our home ground is named after him. 

Visiters are welcome to come and view the album when on display. We ask that you please handle with care. 

Lest we forget.
