Charles Ernest Higginbotham (4 July 1866 in Charing Cross, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland – 11 March 1915 in France)[1] was a British soldier[2] who also had a notable cricket career.[3]
Biography
After attending Rugby School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst,[2] Higginbotham was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Northamptonshire Regiment on 5 February 1887. He was promoted to lieutenant on 16 April 1890,[4] and stationed in the Far East, where he played cricket for the Straits Settlements, playing three matches against Hong Kong between 1890 and 1891.[5]
Following promotion to captain on 2 January 1899, he served during the Second Boer War in South Africa,[2] and was Superintendent of Gymnasia until July 1902,[6] when he returned to his regiment.[7] He took part in some Minor Counties cricket for Devon in the first years of the 20th century.[8] Whilst stationed in South Africa after the end of the Boer war, he made his first-class debut in January 1906, playing for the South African Army against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) team,[9] who were in fact the touring England cricket team.[10]
He played one further first-class match, playing for the Army against the Royal Navy at Lord's in May 1912.[9] He was killed on active service at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in March 1915.[2][11]
