Book Synopsis For Poulton and England by : James Corsan
Book excerpt: An outstanding leader and personality in every respect, Poulton captained England to what is now called a 'Grand Slam' in 1914 – the last season before the First World War. Once war was declared he spent seven months training in England with his battalion of the Royal Berkshire Regiment before crossing to Belgium via France at the end of March 1915. Five weeks later he was shot dead by a sniper in the trenches, still aged only twenty-five.
