SPOT the difference.

More than 100 years of history separates these two high-flying Bury Grammar School Boys teams of 1911-12 and the present day.

To mark the centenary of the start of the World War One, the school has recreated the image of their football first team from 1911-12, with players and teachers in exactly the same position, outside the school hall.

Of the team that formed more than a century ago, three were killed in the conflict and at least one was seriously wounded.

To honour their memory, the school decided to take part in Football Remembers, a collaboration between the Premier League, The FA, the Football League and the British Council to commemorate the the 1914 Christmas Truce football match.

A range of events will be held as part of the commemoration, including all players in last weekend's matches in the Premier League and Football League posing together for a group photograph, which will be uploaded to a special website to be preserved as a record for future generations.

The school's 1911-12 first XI, led by centre half Tom Eatough, was one of the most successful in its history, playing 16 games and winning 14 of them.

All of the team went on to serve during World War One, with goalkeeper James Sharp, left back Earl Singleton and inside left John Hartington killed in action.

James Sharp was killed on the Somme attacking Zenith Trench on October 12, 1916, aged just 22.

He was the son of the founder of James Sharp and Co. Stockbrokers, which still exists today and is based on Bank Street in Bury.

His brother, Donald, who served in the Royal Artillery, also died a year later, and their deaths meant that the firm passed out of the family's hands.

Corporal Singleton, who was born in Holcombe but moved to Blackburn shortly before the war, served in the 9th Battalion Black Watch, and was killed in action at High Wood on the Somme on September 8, 1916, aged 21.

Soldiers Sharp and Singleton have no known graves, and are two of the 11 pupils from the school to be commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing.

Lieutenant Hartington was the school captain in 1914, and left at Christmas to enlist in the Army.

After having originally being called up to the Lancashire Fusiliers, he was seconded to the newly-formed Machine Gun Corps.

He won the the Military Cross for his courage during the Battle of the Somme, but shortly after receiving his medal in person from King George V, he was killed in an artillery bombardment on July 13, 1917, aged 21.

Lieutenant Hartington, whose three sisters and two of his brothers also attended the school, is buried at Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery in Belgium.

The current team is also making the grade, with students Alex Worrall, Danny James and Sam Sweeney being elected to represent the school in playing for the Independent Schools Football Association North team.

In addition, Alex and Sam have been chosen for the national English Schools' Football Association squad.

Richard Marshall, the school's headmaster, said: "We are incredibly proud of our Old Boys, past and present. Recreating the photograph was a very proud moment for the football team and for me as headmaster."
