George William Frederick Fraser (15 September 1877 – 20 August 1950) was an English international rugby union player of the early 20th century.[1]
Strongly–built, Fraser was a hard tackling forward with London club Richmond and had his breakthrough in 1899 when he first gained Middlesex representative honours. He was a member of the England pack in 1902 and 1903, gaining a total of five caps. In addition to rugby, Fraser was also noted as an oarsman.[2]
Fraser served in World War I as an officer in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve.[3]
