Tom Richards' ANZAC Story – From Rugby Fields to Trenches

Like most small towns and villages around Australia, Emmaville has its war memorial, complete with the names of those who volunteered from this area. But the name of Emmaville’s most remarkable son is not here, for by the time he enlisted, he had long moved away — Tom Richards. Richards' grew up to be an athletic young man, and his speed, strength and intelligent play led to his selection in the Queensland team in 1905 as a breakaway. His light brown hair led to the nickname of ‘Rusty’, and over the next thirty-five years, Richards would become the only man to represent both Australia and the United Kingdom in Rugby Union, and eventually the trophy for Wallaby-British Lions contests would be named after him. He would win a gold medal at the 1908 Olympic Games in London, and then be awarded the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry on the battlefields of France. 📚 The free booklet to this episode "Faith of the ANZACS": 📚 https://tij.tv/offers/faith-of-the-an... 💿 Similar Topics: 💿 ANZAC Chaplains - Soldiers of Faith    • The Group of Anzacs Who we Rarely Hear Abo...   ANZAC Heritage – The Lavertys    • Anzac Heritage - The Lavertys   ANZAC: A Soldier’s Story    • ANZAC – A Soldier’s Story   🇦🇺 About the Ministry 🇦🇺 The Incredible Journey is a donor-funded ministry passionate about communicating our bold vision of sharing the good news of Christ and preparing people for the soon coming of Jesus.
