Like many football clubs, Port Adelaide saw many players conscripted or enlist for service during significant conflicts throughout the 20th century.
Many returned from battle, while others died during their service for our nation.
On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we will remember them.
Lest We Forget.
