1915-16 season

From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki

Competitive football in Britain was suspended in 1915 due to the First World War, but the sport continued in a series of regional competitions. Chelsea competed in the London Combination for the next four years. The disruption of the war meant that line-ups often varied considerably, and the club fielded numerous 'guest' players from other teams. Wartime matches are not regarded as competitive, and are therefore not included in official statistics. In 1915-16, Chelsea won both the London Combination and the supplementary competition.
