Life

Walter Martin Fitzherbert Turner was born on 4 April 1881 at Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India,[1] the son of Major J.T. Turner who himself played cricket for Hong Kong and lost his life returning to Hong Kong from a match in Shanghai on board the SS Bokhara.[3] Walter Turner was the brother of another first-class cricketer, Arthur Turner,[1][3] and educated at Bedford Modern School between 1891 and 1893,[4] and thereafter at Wellington College where he was in the first XI in 1897.[1]

Walter Turner began his first-class career for Essex in 1899 shortly before his commission in the Royal Artillery on 6 January 1900.[5] Thereafter he played as a batsman for Essex when on leave from his military duties abroad.[1] Turner’s best performance was in the 1906 season when he scored 924 runs at 33.00.[1] On returning to England after the first world war, he played in the 1919 season where he scored 371 runs at 51.57 and achieved a career match best with 172 runs against Middlesex.[1]

In terms of his military career, he was promoted Major on 11 June 1915 and Lieutenant-Colonel on 1 January 1917.[5] He retired from the army on 23 December 1925.[5]
