In the clubhouse at King George's Field is a wooden mantel engraved with the names of 22 Corinthian players who died in the First World War.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
