Martin Julius Pash became Registered Player Number 0278 at VFA club Port Melbourne in 1903 and went on to play in 82 senior games. He later enlisted with the AIF at the age of 33 on 27 October 1914. He survived the war but returned with a wounded arm and was discharged on 5 February 1916. Sadly Martin Pash died a few years later on 2 May 1920 (likely from his war wound).
