Roll of
Honour. The number of Muratti footballers who have been called upon to make the
supreme sacrifice recently is quite a large one, and to this has to be added the
name of Sammy Cartwright, one of the most popular and clever footballers the Island
has seen. He joined up early in the war and had been in France 3 years, for the
larger portion of the time as a Sergeant in the Royal Engineers. Whilst on leave
last Boxing Day he married at Southsea a local lady, Miss West, who will have
the full sympathy of all our readers and especially the lovers of soccer who always
found in Sammy Cartwright a trustworthy friend, a cheerful comrade and a thorough
good sportsman.
