2nd not 1st: Essex 1899-1914 (6th ed)

the men would have followed him anywhere. I don’t think had an enemy in the world. He was a fine rifle and game shot, and played cricket for Essex, and was an international lacrosse player. At the memorial service at St. Olave’s Church in the City the church was crowded with his friends assembled to pay last tribute to thorough good sportsman and soldier. The Tosettis were a sporting family but Douglas’s younger brother Gilbert was the better cricketer. From 1898 to 1905 he played 41 games for the Essex 1st XI. He scored 1054 runs at 18.49 with a best of 132 not out against Lancashire at Old Trafford in 1902. He took 16 wickets at 55.68 and held 15 catches. Douglas played thirteen games for Essex Second XI, more than anyone else who did not play for the 1st. His best performances were both at Leyton in 1903 - 88 in a big partnership with Ted Russell against Norfolk, and a remarkable 5 for 11 after several other bowlers had been tried against Middlesex 2nd XI.

Turner, John Trench (‘Jack’, 1879-1963) Born 24 December 1879, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. Died 15 April 1963, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. Played 1900,1914. He was one in a remarkable band of seven cricketing brothers who could almost have matched the Walkers of Southgate or the Fosters of Worcestershire. His brothers Brigadier Arthur Jervois (Johnny) Turner and Walter Martin Fitzherbert Turner both played successfully but infrequently for Essex 1st XI. Their father was Major James Trench Turner, who played for the Hong Kong cricket team, primarily as a bowler. Later he served in India where the boys were born, but drowned when the SS Bakhara encountered a typhoon and sank off Formosa (now Taiwan). Their mother was Florence Emma Jervois. Jack was educated at Fettes College and Clare College Cambridge, playing Rugby and hockey for the university. He was Assistant Master at Oakham School 1902-5 and then joined the Indian Education Department, initially as Head Master of the High School, Poona. He was vice-principal of Rajkumar College, Rajkot, 1906-23 and then principal 1923-30. He became a freemason in Oakham and continued his membership in India. In the First World War he was a Second Lieutenant in the Indian Cavalry Reserve attached to the 28th Light Cavalry and Second-in-Command, Zhob Cavalry, 1917-18. He had daughter Peggy Diana with Gladys LeFeuvre and then married Bertha Mabel Evans, who had four children with him. He died in 1963, leaving £11,345.

In 1906-8 he played seven matches for Europeans – four against Parsees and three against Hindus. He scored 254 runs at 19.53 with a top score of 54, and took 7 wickets for 224 with a best analysis of 3 for 32. On a
