Biography

Oswald Wykeham Cornwallis (16 March 1894 – 28 January 1974) was an English cricketer who played as a right-handed batsman. Cornwallis made his first-class debut for the Royal Navy against the Army at Lord's in 1920. Cornwallis would play three matches for the Royal Navy, the last of which came against the Army, also at Lord's in 1926.
Cornwallis also represented Hampshire in one first-class match on 16 May 1921 against Kent, a match in which his brother Wykeham Cornwallis represented Kent. In his only first-class match for the club Cornwallis was absent in both Hampshire's innings. His brother bowled in Hampshire's first innings, but was himself absent for both Kent's innings and Hampshire's second innings. Their absence was allowed following the death of their brother, Lieutenant Fiennes Wykeham Mann Cornwallis who was killed in Ireland during the Irish War of Independence by the IRA. It is likely that Oswald never actually took to the field for Hampshire.
Cornwallis died in Froxfield, Hampshire on 28 January 1974.

Family

Cornwallis was the son of Conservative politician and Member of Parliament for Maidstone Fiennes Cornwallis, 1st Baron Cornwallis. His brother Wykeham Cornwallis, 2nd Baron Cornwallis played first-class cricket for Kent from 1919 to 1926. As mentioned above, his brother Fiennes Cornwallis, Jr. was killed on 15 May 1921 in Ireland during the Irish War of Independence.
