Sq/L Scramble,
Mni tks for the response – which is, I have to say, somewhat puzzling. Not the cricket bit, per se, but the fact that Crickinfo have him playing for the Army(!), and India(!), in 1934/35. The next info I have on him is that he was playing for the RAF at cricket in UK, in Jul 1937 (Times Archive) as a 30-yr old Leading Aircraftman. The Times then charts his career through their cricket scores. The Inter-Service matches were reported in the same detail as Test Matches and the County scores – with particular detail on getting the Service Ranks correct! Cpl by the summer of 1938, and Flt Sgt by the summer of 1947. So, at some stage, he must have been promoted Sgt (probably during WW2).
There is obviously more in this bloke than meets the eye!
Thanks for yr help
Rgds
