Guy Blaikie
Kenneth Guy Blaikie (8 May 1897 – 8 June 1968), generally known as "Bill Blaikie", played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Somerset in the early 1920s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Kenneth Blaikie )〕 He was born at Johannesburg in South Africa and died at Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada. He was the father of the prominent Canadian lawyer and politician Peter Blaikie.
==Family and career==
Blaikie's grandfather moved to South Africa from Scotland in 1861. His father served in active duty during the Second Boer War and died during the Siege of Ladysmith in 1900. Blaikie himself was in 1918 awarded a Rhodes Scholar to study at Oxford University, though he was allowed to defer his Oxford entry because at this stage he was still serving in the army. In 1924 he was effectively "headhunted" from Oxford by H. W. Matheson (who later became vice-president for Research and Patents with ''Shawinigan Chemicals Ltd.'').〔 Blaikie insisted on remaining in England for the rest of the cricket season and then relocated to Canada〔 where he worked as a chemist in the laboratory of the ''Shawinigan Chemicals Industries''.〔 In September 1932 he married Mary Petrie Black and their son Peter was born in 1937.〔 A daughter, Jane, was born in 1940.〔( The Genealogy of the Blaikie Family ), 24 December 2007〕
Blaikie also served as a captain with the 81st Field Artillery Battery (which is now the 62nd (Shawinigan) Field Regiment, RCA's senior sub-unit) during World War II.〔〔J.J.
