Derbyshire remembers
Each year, Derbyshire County Cricket Club honours those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in all conflicts by the laying of wreaths in a variety of locations around the county.
Sunday 11 November marked 100 years since the end of the First World War. During the war, six Derbyshire cricketers, and one player expected to play for the county in 1915, lost their lives.
We will remember them.
Cricket vs Football: A Question of Sport
