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.

Be interesting to know how many survived WW1.
