Ajaxer Posted 14 January , 2015 Share Posted 14 January , 2015 Wilhelm Aston and his father both have obituaries in Wisden 1916. Wisden mistakenly gave Ronald the second name of Marriner like his father. These are the slightly abbreviated versions that appear in my book Wisden on the Great War. I can fill out the school details where it gives "…" CAPT FREDERICK MARRINER ASTON (6th Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry) was killed in Flanders on July 30, aged 48. Educated at Shrewsbury, he was in the School Eleven in 1885 and 1886… It was then said of him: “Hits very hard, with a crooked bat, and has been a very useful scorer: has bowled with success at times, but is uncertain; a brilliant and generally safe field.” He was not in the Eleven at Cambridge, but obtained his Blue for Association football, playing against Oxford in the drawn game at Queen’s Club in February 1889. He also played football for Casuals FC. See his son, below. LT RONALD MOSELEY ASTON (2nd Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry), son of the above-mentioned, was killed in France on March 14, aged 20. He was in the Rugby Eleven in 1911 and 1912, being a fair batsman and good bowler and fieldsman… Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
