There are some mentions here re E.Yorks football team:
http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/175354-east-yorkshire-regiment/

Including an IFA Shield Final in 1911?

Mention is made of an article in "The Sapper".

why would he not have been 'called up'  - as an Englishman and former service man?
The answer's quite straightforward, by 1916 he was deemed time served as he'd completed his 12 years service & couldn't be recalled or conscripted.

Wow, that's phenomenal detective work, thank you all so much!  I'll noodle over this with my dad and we'll be back in touch soon!
