Neville Charsley Tufnell (13 June 1887 – 3 August 1951) was a cricketer. Born in 1887 in Simla, Punjab, India, Tufnell played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and the Marylebone Cricket Club in a not particularly notable first-class career as a wicketkeeper that lasted from 1907 to 1924. He also played one Test match for England at Cape Town against South Africa in 1909/10. He played a single first-class match for Surrey in 1922 against Oxford University, captaining the side. Tufnell was commissioned into the 1st Volunteer Battalion (later 4th Battalion), Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment in 1908. He left before the First World War with the rank of Captain, but rejoined with the same rank in 1914. He later transferred to the Grenadier Guards (Special Reserve). Tufnell was appointed a Gentleman Usher to George VI upon the King's accession. In 1939 he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel as a Group Commander in the National Defence Companies, and transferred to the King's Royal Rifle Corps later the same year. Tufnell was also involved in politics. In 1945 at the General Election, he stood as the Liberal candidate for the Windsor division of Berkshire. He came third and did not stand for parliament again.〔British parliamentary election results 1950-1973, Craig, F.W.S.〕 He died in 1951 in Whitechapel, London, England. ==References== *(CricketArchive page on Neville Tufnell ) *(Cricinfo page on Neville Tufnell ) *''The London Gazette'' 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「Neville Tufnell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
