The son of H. D. Bates, he was born in February 1899 at Lambourn, Berkshire. He was educated at Marlborough College, where he played for the cricket eleven and the rugby fifteen.[1] After completing his education at Marlborough, Bates served in the final year of the First World War, being commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Royal Garrison Artillery in January 1918.[2] Following the war, he was promoted to lieutenant in July 1919.[3] In the same year, Bates matriculated to Jesus College, Cambridge.[1] In 1920, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Hampshire in the County Championship against Essex and Somerset, with both matches played at Bournemouth.[4] He scored 18 runs in his two matches, with a highest score of 9.[5]
