In May 1919, an unidentified former Melbourne footballer wrote to the football correspondent of The Argus as follows:
"In 1914 the Melbourne football team,
after its junction with the University , was a fine team, and succeeded in reaching the semi-finals. Out of this combination the following players enlisted and served at the front:—
C. Lilley (seriously wounded),
J. Hassett ,
H. Tomkins (severely wounded),
J. Evans (seriously wounded), W. Hendrie,
R. L. Park ,
J. Doubleday (died),
A. Best ,
C. Burge (killed),
C. (viz., A.) Williamson (killed),
J. Brake ,
R. Lowell ,
E. Parsons (seriously wounded),
A. M. Pearce (killed),
F. Lugton (killed),
A. George ,
C. Armstrong ,
P. Rodriguez (killed),
J. Cannole (viz., Connole) ,
A. Fraser (seriously wounded),
T. Collins . These are all players of note, and in themselves would have formed a very fine side, but there is only one of them playing at the present time, viz., C. Lilley, who, as a matter of fact, takes the field under some disability owing to severe wounds which he received on service." — The Argus , 16 May 1919.
