Description
An AIF recruiting lantern slide of "Lieut. McArthur, Footballer". His identity is unable to be confirmed but records indicate he may have been a footballer with Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union club. This slide is one of a series used in a 1917 recruiting campaign to encourage sportsmen to enlist in a sportsmen's unit, such as had been successfully raised in England. The concept was not as popular in Australia.
