Captain Wilfred Nevill had given a football to each of his platoon commandeers and ordered them to boot it towards the German lines so that "proper formation and distance was not lost." Nevill "urged the men to keep kicking the ball forward over a mile and a quarter of ground, which they had to cover in order to reach the German trenches." Nevill led by example and kicked before him a football on which he had written The Great European Cup Final – East Surreys v The Bavarians.
