Early life

George Amelius Crawshay Sandeman was born on 18 April 1882, in London. His father was Lt. Col. George Glas Sandeman, of that family of wine merchants,[1] and his mother (who died on 24 April 1882) was Amy Sandeman.

He was educated at Eton College, from where he left in 1902 to study at Christ Church, Oxford.

Published works

Sandeman authored two history books. Calais under English Rule (1908) was adapted from an essay which had won the Arnold Prize earlier the same year. He subsequently wrote Metternich (1911), a biography of the famous Austrian statesman.

Cricketing career

Sandeman made his first-class debut for Hampshire against Nottinghamshire in the 1913 County Championship, representing them in three first-class matches altogether, all in the 1913 season. His final appearance for the county came against Kent. Sandeman took 3 wickets for Hampshire at a bowling average of 41.33.

In 1914 he made his debut for the Marylebone Cricket Club, representing them in a single first-class match against Oxford University.

Sandeman also represented the Free Foresters in the same season, against both Oxford University and Cambridge University.

Military service

Sandeman served in the First World War as a captain in the Hampshire Regiment. He went to France on 27 August 1914 but was killed in action only a few months later, at Zonnebeke, Belgium, on 26 April 1915.
