I'm loving a new entry into the digitised newspapers on Trove - a Melbourne-based sports newspaper called Winner. I have never heard of it before, but it turns out to be a treasure trove indeed of material about enlisted sportsman. For example, Lieutenant Alfred John May, of the Essendon Harriers, who appears to have been running Essendon's war handed single-handedly until his enlistment in 1916.
