The Port Adelaide Football Club has a long and proud association with Australia's armed forces.
Since World War One in 1914, Port Adelaide had seen players and officials enlist to serve abroad in the defence of empire and nation.
Donate to the ANZAC Appeal
ANZAC Day in April, and Remembrance Day in November, are times all Australians to remember those who served.
A list of Port Adelaide and Geelong's league servicemen will be displayed prior to Saturday night's game at the Adelaide Oval.
The club welcomes any information from family members regarding ex players and officials who served with Australian forces abroad to contact the club here.
Below is a list of known league players and officials to have served during conflicts since 1915.
