Historical information

Appears to have been taken in Fremantle, with War Memorial in background.

Whilst the inscription on the back of the photograph indicates this is a photograph of an Australian Rules team, the presence of a soccer ball, soccer goals, eleven players not eighteen, a linesman carrying a flag would indicate this is more likely to be a photograph of a soccer team.

The East Claremont Soccer Club (sometimes referred to as the East Claremont Soccer Football Club in newspapers) was active from the 1920s to the 1950s.
