Hockey Codes

Wilfrid Alexander Johnson (October 15, 1885 to June 21, 1960) was a British lacrosse player who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics. He was part of the British team that won the silver medal there. Away from the sport he studied at Balliol College, Oxford, where he read greats, and he later worked as an accountant in the Civil Service. During the First World War he served in the Royal Naval Air Service. The English Wikipedia article gives little detail of his playing career beyond his place in the 1908 Olympic team and its silver medal.
