As the people of the United Kingdom go silent this month to pay tribute to service men and women past and present, LCFC.com has compiled John Hutchinson's work, which recounts how the Football Club adjusted to the challenges of wartime Britain.

A total of 15 Leicester Fosse players died during the First World War or conflicts related to it, while Filbert Street itself - the home of the Football Club for 111 years - was in fact bombed during the Second World War. To read up on the Club's wartime research, please use the links below.
