}}Brigadier James Edward Fryer "Jeff" Linton DSO[1] (7 May 1909–27 December 1989) was a Welsh cricketer[2] and British Army officer. He served with the Royal Artillery during World War II[3] after previously playing first-class cricket for Glamorgan County Cricket Club in the 1932 English cricket season as a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-fast bowler.[4] He also represented the Egypt national cricket team.[5]

Biography

Born in Llandaff in 1909,[4] Linton was educated at Charterhouse School where he captained the cricket team.[3] He played his only two first-class matches for his native Glamorgan in August 1932 against Middlesex and Hampshire.[6] In April 1938 he played twice for Egypt against HM Martineau's XI.[7]

He served with the Royal Artillery during World War II, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1944 after escaping from a prisoner-of-war camp. He had a distinguished military career, and after the war was elevated to the rank of Brigadier and became a senior instructor in anti-tank warfare at the School of Artillery.[3] He died in Mexico in 1989.[4]
