Melbourne's Malcolm Kennedy, the first player to wear the number 12 guernsey for the club, died of wounds in Belgium, having served at Gallipoli and on the Western Front.
He had played 17 VFL games in 1911 and 1912 before graduating from Duntroon.

The Sun News-Pictorial reported that Sandringham would have been admitted to the VFA the year before if it had won permission to fence its ground, and that the Association wanted another outer suburban club to end the bye.
The club secretary said the chances of inclusion would be excellent if permission came before next season.
