Title: Winnipeg
Post by: Dannemois on Saturday 06 February 21 11:42 GMT (UK)

I recently read a letter sent home from a relative who was in Winnipeg, Canada at the time.  In the letter, he wrote that on “Jan 25, 1910, he went to a concert by Welsh Rugby Football Club.”  Unfortunately, he did not name the club.   Out of interest, I would like to know who they were and I wondered if someone could please help. 

Thanks in advance

Hi Roy,

 I do see an article :(Newspapers FMPast)
January 26, 1910 - Winnipeg Free Press - Winnipeg, Manitoba

(just in case anyone wants to transcribe it ;) )

 Suggests that it was the Winnipeg Welsh Rugby Club. Captain was Bob LEWIS:
