South Australian players in WWI Exhibition Game in London

Postby Ebert, Evans & Me » Sat Apr 26, 2008 12:40 am

The Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_VFL_du ... World_Wars has a section on the Pioneer Exhibition Game in London in 1916 (played in front of the future King Edward VIII and King Manuel II of Portugal). There are a couple of photos of the teams (comprising mainly VFL players), with a list of the players. Two players are listed as coming from South Australia: Alfred Jackson and H. Moore. I couldn't find either on the "Every player who has played in the SANFL" list and while it's possible they are country/amateur league players, I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the only two South Australians to have played in front of the King of Portugal.
