Colonel John Cabourn Hartley DSO (15 November 1874 – 8 March 1963), known as Jock Hartley, was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.[1]
Cricket career[]
Hartley was educated at Tonbridge School and Brasenose College, Oxford.[2] He played first-class cricket for Oxford University from 1895 to 1897 and Sussex from 1895 to 1898. He then went on to play for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in first-class fixtures until the 1926 season. He was vice-captain of the MCC team in New Zealand in 1922-23, but captained most of the matches owing to an injury to the captain, Archie MacLaren.[3]
Hartley played two Test matches for England on their tour to South Africa in 1905-06, but with little success.[1]
His best first-class bowling figures were 8 for 161 for Oxford University in the first innings in Oxford's victory over Cambridge University in 1896. He also took 3 for 78 in the second innings and top-scored with 43 in Oxford's first innings.[4] He made his highest score of 84 not out at the age of 50 when he captained MCC in a match against Wales in 1925.[5]
Military career[]
In the Army, Hartley served with the Royal Fusiliers in both the Second Boer War and the First World War, being wounded twice and mentioned in dispatches four times.[2] He was awarded the DSO in the 1919 New Year Honours.[6]
