A batsman whose studious technique made use of his talent, Dawson excelled as a schoolboy for Eton College, scoring 159 in the traditional fixture against Harrow. He went up to Magdalene College, Cambridge, and earned his blue as a freshman, captaining the university in 1927.[1]
Dawson played his county cricket for Leicestershire, captaining the county for four seasons: 1928, 1929, 1931 and 1933.[2] He toured with England to South Africa in 1927–28 and New Zealand in 1929–30. He made 55 in his last Test, at Auckland, opening the innings with Ted Bowley. He scored 12,598 first-class runs with 14 centuries, the highest being a knock of 146 against Gloucestershire. His swansong was a chanceless 91 against the Australians in 1934.
As a member of the Coldstream Guards during World War II, Dawson's duties included guarding Rudolf Hess in Sussex.[2] In his later years he was a creative director of the Outward Bound movement.[2]
