Lieut. Col. Cyril Pelham Foley (1 November 1868 – 9 March 1936) was an English cricketer, military officer and archaeologist.

Early life and education

Foley was born in Westminster, the son of General The Hon. Sir St George Gerald Foley, who was, among other things, Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey from 1874 to 1879.

He attended Eton College, where he was a prominent cricketer, scoring a century in the victory over Harrow in 1886.[1] In 1887 he went up to Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he was again a leading cricketer, playing in three successive victories for Cambridge over Oxford from 1889 to 1891.[2]

Cricket career

Foley was a patient opening batsman, sound in defence and strong on the off side.[2] He scored his two first-class centuries for Cambridge University: 113 against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1889, when Cambridge won by two wickets,[3] and 117 against Sussex in 1890, when he added 214 for the fourth wicket with Gregor MacGregor and Cambridge won by 425 runs.[4]

He played 57 first-class matches for Middlesex between 1893 and 1906, and was also a regular member of MCC teams from 1888 to 1906, playing 33 first-class matches.[5] He toured the West Indies with Lord Brackley's XI in 1904–05, playing all of the 10 first-class matches, scoring 239 runs at an average of 14.05,[6] with a top score of 58 in the victory over Barbados.[7]

Military career

Foley was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry in November 1888 while a student at Cambridge.[8] After leaving Cambridge, he joined the staff of Lord Houghton, Viceroy of Ireland.[9]

He took part in the Jameson Raid of 1895–96 in the Transvaal, and later served with distinction in the Boer War, returning as temporary commander of the 3rd Royal Scots.[2] During the First World War he commanded the 9th East Lancashire Regiment and was mentioned in dispatches.[9] He also served in the Royal Flying Corps,[10] gaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel.[11]

Archaeologist

Foley was one of the leaders of an archaeological expedition party that excavated in the Kidron Valley near Jerusalem in 1909 in an attempt to discover the Ark of the Covenant.[12]

He wrote his memoirs, Autumn Foliage, in 1935.[13]
