was an amateur football club from Camberwell, open to members of the corps, who featured in the early years of the FA Cup from 1872 to 1878 and from 1885 to 1887.
[4] Its first reported match played against external opposition was a 1–0 victory against the Lausanne club at the latter's Rosemary Branch ground in 1871.
The club's first Cup tie, in 1872–73, resulted in a 2–0 win over Upton Park, in poor weather, the second goal coming near the close of play.
The only goal came after "Allport, calling on his men for a sort of infantry charge, went bodily through the ranks of his enemies, and Kirkpatrick,taking advantage of an opportunity that presented itself, made a splendid long kick, and although Littlewood tried hard to turn aside the ball with his hand,it bounded off and went under the tape."
The 12–0 home defeat in the first round to Clapham Rovers (eight coming before half-time),[10] and the 9–0 defeat in the first round the following year at home to Upton Park, demonstrated that the game had passed the club by; to add insult to injury, one of the Upton Park goals was scored by goalkeeper Evans, who had swapped with forward Inglis after the latter was injured.
