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]
