Portrait of Lieutenant Rowland Owen, 2nd Battalion, West Riding Regiment, taken before the First World War. Lt Owen enjoyed a brief celebrity in late 1914 due to a letter written in November while recovering from wounds in hospital at Boulogne. A keen rugby footballer who had played for Yorkshire, he was also captain of the Huddersfield Old Boys Club, to the secretary of which he wrote: "This year was going to be our great year. Well, so it is if we send as many men to the field of battle as we send to the field of play." Published in the local press, Owen's comments inspired a cartoon in a national weekly which became the basis of the recruiting poster 'Will They Never Come?'. Owen was killed at Hill 60 in April 1915.}}
