Saturday 19th September 1914, Bedford: Rugby enthusiasts in the town were saddened to see the names of three old Bedford team members recorded as wounded on this week’s casualty list: Captain H.C.Potter, Captain T.S.Muirhead, and R.C.Campbell. Captain Potter is serving in the Liverpool Regiment and formerly played for both Bedford R.U.F.C and the Bedfordshire cricket team; his wife’s brother Captain G.M.Griffith is another old Bedford Rugby player. Captain Muirhead has been wounded in Nyassaland fighting with the Northamptonshire Regiment. Mr Campbell is considered to be one of the club's finest ever forwards.
