Alfred Nolan Fell (17 January 1878 – 20 April 1953) was a New Zealand-born international rugby union player for Scotland[1][2] as a member of Edinburgh University RFC.
One of his sons, Lieutenant David Walton Fell, Royal Army Medical Corps, died of wounds in North Africa on 13 November 1942.
Fell was a player (1898–1905), secretary (1900–1901), and captain (1901–1903) of the Edinburgh University Rugby Football Club,[4] which he is credited with building up to one of the best sides in the history of the game.
[8] Commentators from the time noted that he was a fast runner and good on attack, but lacked defensive ability.
From 1918 to 1919 he served as a temporary captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps and was based in Salonika, Macedonia; Bulgaria, Serbia, and the Caucasus.
