Who was Frank Cheadle?

Frank Cheadle was a pioneer Australian rugby league player and soldier who fell in World War I. A national representative centre, he was reputedly the first Sydney rugby union player to sign with the new breakaway league in its earliest formative days in late 1907. He played for New South Wales in the very first rugby match run by the newly created 'New South Wales Rugby Football League' which had just split away from the established New South Wales Rugby Football Union.
