Frank Kerr (cricketer)

Frank Bevan Kerr (28 October 1916 – 24 July 1943) was a Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) pilot who was killed in World War II. He played first-class cricket for Otago.
Kerr was born in Perth, Western Australia, to Gwendoline Lisle and H. Douglas Kerr.〔("Frank Bevan Kerr" ) – Auckland Museum. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕 All his cricket, however, was played in New Zealand. His first-class debut for Otago came when he was 18, against Canterbury during the 1934–35 Plunket Shield season. A right-handed batsman, Kerr played another three Plunket Shield games the following season, as well as a match against the touring MCC team.〔(First-class matches played by Frank Kerr ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕 Against Auckland in the first match of the season, he scored 44 not out from eighth in the batting order, his highest first-class score.〔(Auckland v Otago ), Plunket Shield 1935/36 – CricketArchive. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕 Later in the season, he was promoted to third in the batting order, but had little success. Kerr's final first-class matches came during the 1936–37 season, when he played three games for only 28 runs (at an average of 4.66).〔(First-class batting and fielding in each season by Frank Kerr ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕 His final high-level match for Otago, however, came against Canterbury in December 1942, though it did not have first-class status.〔(Miscellaneous matches played by Frank Kerr ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕
By that time, Kerr was enlisted as a pilot officer in the RNZAF. He was killed in the Solomon Islands in July 1943, as the co-pilot of a Lockheed Hudson flying a patrol between Bougainville and New Georgia. The plane was attacked by eight Japanese Zeros, and was eventually forced to ditch near a small island off the coast of Vella Lavella. The five crew, including Kerr, survived the ditching, but were afterward strafed by the Japanese, with only one member, Sgt. Trevor Ganley, surviving.〔(1 January 2014). (Lockheed Hudson Mark III Serial Number NZ2021 ) – PacificWrecks.com. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕 Kerr was survived by his wife, Flora Margaret Mary Kerr.〔(KERR, FRANK BEVAN ) – Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Retrieved 8 August 2015.〕
