Francis Gordon Turner Шаблон:Postnominals (1 March 1890 — 21 November 1979) was an English first-class cricketer, British Army officer, and educator.
The son of John Turner and his wife, Esther, he was born at Kensington in March 1890.[1] He was educated at Westminster School, before matriculating to Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] After graduating from Cambridge, he became an assistant master at Twyford School in Hampshire between 1911 and 1913,[2] which at the time was under the headmastership of the cricketer Harold McDonell. Turner played first-class cricket for Hampshire in 1912, making a single appearance against Cambridge University at Southampton.[3] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed in Hampshire's first innings for 14 runs by Eric Kidd.[4] He left Twyford in 1913 to become an assistant master at Felsted School.[2]
With the outbreak of the First World War in July 1914, Turner's teaching career was interrupted. He would serve in the war, being commissioned as a temporary second lieutenant into the Hampshire Regiment in January 1915.[5] Serving the entirety of the war on the Western Front,[2] he was transferred to the Dorset Regiment in September 1915.[6] In the same month, he was made a temporary captain,[7] prior to gaining the full rank of lieutenant two months later.[8] Turner was awarded the Military Cross in the 1917 Birthday Honours.[9] In August of the same year, he was serving at headquarters as a brigade major.[10] He remained in France until the end of the war, being demobilised in February 1919.[2] He was made an OBE in the 1919 Birthday Honours, for valuable service rendered in connection with military operations in France.[2]
Following the end of the war, Turner returned to teaching. He was appointed headmaster of Tormore School in Kent in 1919,[1] an appointment he held until his retirement in 1955.[11] Turner died in November 1979 at Deal, Kent.
