(Extract from the report of the Easter tour) :

On Saturday morning a perfect crossing was made to Ostend, and proceeding by train via Brussels, Liege was reached at nine o'clock, the party being warmly welcomed on their arrival by officials of the Royal Football Club Liegeois. Excellent accommodation was provided at the Hotel de l'Europe, where a very happy and enjoyable time was spent.

Two English football enthusiasts resident in Liege - Messrs. William Duslow and Percy Hartley - the latter being the professional coach of the Liege Football Club, acted as guides throughout the stay and added considerably to the enjoyment of the party. Under their guidance a visit was paid to the famous ruins of the Fort de Loncin, five miles outside Liege, where the German advance was retarded until the magazine exploded. Five hundred and fifty Belgians were involved in this disaster and are buried in the ruins of the fort, which are now retained in the same condition as a national memorial. A magnificent column erected near by records the glorious deeds of the fallen.

The Continental Sunday provided a striking contrast to the much-to-be-preferred English day of rest. In the afternoon, before a crowd of 20,000, the Liege Club defeated the French team Union Sportive Tourquennoise by two goals to none. Immediately following this match Hampstead played their first game in the tournament, the famous Paris football team, Stad Francais, leaders of the French National League, providing the opposition. Six French internationals were included in this team, but Hampstead were victorious by the convincing margin of six goals to one. In the local reports chief honours were accorded to Wise, who played his usual sterling game and scored two splendid goals. Seabrooke got three and Young one. The losers' goal was scored from a penalty in the concluding stages.

Before the game the Hampstead team lined up and placed a wreath on the memorial erected on the ground to the members of the Liege club who fell in the war. This action made a deep impression on the crowd assembled, and before their return the following letter was received from the President. Translated, it reads :- "The homage you have rendered and the manifestation of your faithful friendship to our dear departed is very greatly appreciated. Your action has touched us profoundly, and on behalf of the dear dead of our club we give you our grateful thanks."
