Robert Poore
Robert Montagu Poore, DSO, CIE (20 March 1866 in Dublin, Ireland – 14 July 1938 in Boscombe, Bournemouth, England) was a cricketer and British army officer who, whilst serving in South Africa in 1896, played in three Tests for the South African cricket team. Much of his cricket was played when he held the rank of Major, but he eventually became a Brigadier-General. "Of all the people in the history of the game," wrote Leo Cooper in an introduction to AA Thomson's ''Odd Men In'', "he seems to stand for the Eccentric Ideal."〔Cooper introduction to ''Odd Men In'', pp. v–vi.〕
==Military career==
Poore was the son of Major Robert Poore (1834–1918) and his wife Juliana Lowry-Corry, daughter of Rear-Admiral Armar Lowry-Corry.
He joined the 7th Hussars and served in the Second Matabele War in Rhodesia 1896–1897. He was appointed Provost Marshal in South Africa during the Second Boer War 1899–1902, and received the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in 1901. In a despatch dated 31 March 1900, the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Roberts, described how Poore "has exercised his responsible duties, whether as regards the care of prisoners, or in maintaining order in camp and on the line of march, in a most satisfactory manner".
