Alfred Markham Inglis (24 September 1856 – 17 June 1919) was an amateur cricketer who played for the M.C.C. and Kent in the 1870s. By profession, he was a banker. ==Early life== Inglis was born in Casouli,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Players/30/30532/30532.html )〕 India where his father, Lieutenant-Colonel John Eardley Inglis was serving in the 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment of Foot. His mother was the Hon. Julia Selina Thesiger, daughter of Frederic Thesiger, 1st Baron Chelmsford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I6117&tree=Kings )〕 By June 1857, when Inglis was less than a year old, his father was second-in-command under Sir Henry Lawrence at Lucknow where the British residency was under siege by Indian "rebels". Lawrence was killed during the early days of the siege, and as a result Col. Inglis took command of the British forces. Mrs. Inglis kept a diary of the events during the siege which lasted until November when the British were evacuated following the relief of the town by General Colin Campbell. Her diary was published in 1892. In the diary she often talks about keeping the "boys" and the "baby" (Alfred) safe during the siege and retreat:
Following the retreat from Lucknow, Mrs. Inglis and her three children returned to England on board SS ''Ava''; the ship set out from Calcutta for Suez on 10 February 1858, but ran aground off Pigeon Island, about 12 miles from Trincomalee, Ceylon on 16 February. The passengers and crew were rescued after spending a night in the ship's boats; the family eventually reached Alexandria before travelling on to Southampton, arriving there in early March.〔 Inglis was educated at Rugby School before going up to Brasenose College, Oxford in 1876.〔Alumni Oxonienses 1715–1886〕 He became a banker.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfred Inglis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
