Geoffrey
Bevington |
 Lieutenant
Commander (A), “H.M.S. Vulture,” Royal Naval Air Station, Royal
Naval Volunteer Reserve (R.N.V.R). Died 21st November 1940 aged
37 years. Born 26 January 1903, Bromley, Kent. Son of Henry Bevington
Legge and Edith Blythne Legge. Husband of Rosemary Kathleen Legge
of Cranbrook, Kent. Played cricket for England, Kent, Oxford University;
right-hand bat; legbreak bowler. Educated at Malvern School and
Oxford University. Buried St Merryn Churchyard, Cornwall. Grave
reference 1.
Geoffrey
Legge as a cricketer, businessman, racing-car enthusiast and pioneer
aviator, who became the first English Test player to die in the
Second World War.
Extract
from Wisden Cricketers' Almanack:
Lt.
Geoffrey Bevington Legge, Fleet Air Arm, suffered death while
flying in November, aged 37. Legge played little first-class cricket
since 1930, when he resigned the Kent captaincy. After batting
up to the high form associated with Malvern School, where he was
captain, particularly in off-driving and cutting, Legge gained
his Oxford Blue in 1925 and captained the University XI next season.
Each year he headed the batting averages, and scored 83 in four
innings, against Cambridge, the first of two good matches ending
in a draw and Oxford losing the other by 34 runs. In this 1926
match R. G. H. Lowe did the fifth hat-trick, all by Cambridge
bowlers, in the University match. In 1928 he succeeded A. J. Evans
as Kent captain, and managed the side so well in the field that
Lancashire, winners of the Championship, alone came out with a
superior record. He went to South Africa in the winter of 1927,
and also toured New Zealand and Australia when A. H. H. Gilligan
captained the M.C.C. team in 1929. At Auckland in the specially
arranged fourth Test Match, Legge excelled by making 196, the
next highest score in a total of 540 being 75 by M. S. Nichols.
Legge bowled slows with some success. Usually fielding in the
slips, he seldom dropped any catch within reach, and in everything
he attempted showed skill at the game. He was in the Malvern football
eleven and also represented the School at rackets.
