Douglas Charles Allday (24 January 1895 – 2 February 1945) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
Born at Known in Warwickshire in January 1895, Allday was educated at Malvern College.[1] The First World War began shortly after he finished his education at Malvern, with Allday being commissioned into the British Army as a temporary second lieutenant in September 1914.[2] Serving in the war with the Royal Army Service Corps, he was promoted to the temporary rank of lieutenant in March 1915.[3] He ended the war as a temporary captain, a rank he retained in full upon the completion of his service in August 1919.[4] After the war he went to British India, where he played in two first-class cricket matches for the Europeans cricket team against the Indians in the Madras Presidency Matches of 1920 and 1924.[5] He scored 13 runs across his two matches, with a highest score of 10.[6] Allday died in England at Wolverhampton in February 1945.
