Merson was born at Stockton-on-Tees in July 1925. He was educated north of the border in Scotland at both Merchiston Castle School and Edinburgh Academy, before matriculating to the University of Edinburgh.[1] Playing his club cricket for Edinburgh University, Merson was selected to play for the Scottish cricket team against Warwickshire at Edgbaston during Scotland's 1947 tour of England.[2] Batting from the upper-middle order, he was dismissed in the Scottish first innings for a single run by Eric Hollies, while in their second innings batting from the lower-middle order, he was dismissed for 15 runs by Godfrey Pell.[3] After graduating from Edinburgh University, Merson practised as a doctor.[1] He was commissioned on a short service appointment with the medical branch of the Royal Air Force in June 1952, with the rank of flying officer.[4] Promotion to flight lieutenant followed in June 1953,[5] with a further promotion to squadron leader following in June 1958.[6] Merson died at Stockton-on-Tees in April 2011.
