Let Them Play By All Means is the story of Yorkshire Rugby Union during
World War Two, one of the most difficult times in the lives of many
people in Britain, and a largely unrecorded period in the history of
rugby union in the County.
Contemporary records, memories, newspaper archives, photographs and
documents, help to describe how the sport responded to the
life-changing events that took place between 1939 and 1945
Importantly, the book records how a small group of remarkable club
enthusiasts kept the sport going against the odds through the war
years, and remembers some of the rugby people who made the ultimate
sacrifice.
