Over 300 VFL players fought for their country at either the first or second world war. They left their families, friends, jobs and the sport they loved to serve their country. Some never returned. Of the 115 AFL/ VFL players that have died in conflict, 15 have been Essendon players. Anzac Day is a day to remember the courageous efforts of these men. The Essendon Football club would like to pay tribute to its fallen players and all those who stood by their side.
