Anthony Wilding, who was killed in the Great War. is still remembered wherever lawn tennis is played, was given at the reception to the visiting Australian players by their leader, Mr J. H. Crawford.

He himself possessed four of the Anthony Wilding Shields given to winners of the Australian championship, and they were among his proudest possessions.
