Life and military career

He was educated at Magdalen College School, Oxford.[1] He played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire in 1901, making five appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[2] Deciding on a career as a professional soldier, Twiss enlisted with the Devonshire Regiment as a second lieutenant in July 1901.[3] Shortly after enlisting he served in the Second Boer War. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in January 1904,[4] before being transferred to the British Indian Army in October 1905,[5] joining the 10th Jats.[6] He was promoted to the rank of captain in July 1910.[7] He made two appearances in first-class cricket for the Europeans against the Hindus and the Parsees in 1913–14 Bombay Presidency matches at Poona.[8] Against the Hindus he took figures of 6 for 30.[9]
He served in the First World War attached to the Dorset Regiment and was cited for the Distinguished Service Order in June 1916,[10] with promotion to the rank of major coming in the following month.[11] Following the war, Twiss returned to the British Indian Army, retiring from active service in March 1920, at which point he was granted the rank of lieutenant colonel.[12] He died at Brighton in August 1943. His son, Frank Twiss, would become an admiral in the Royal Navy.
