Edward George Wynyard (1 April 1861 – 30 October 1936) was a British Army officer and an English cricketer who played in three Tests from 1896 to 1906. He captained Hampshire County Cricket Club between 1896 and 1899. Wynyard was also a successful amateur football player. In 1881, he was a member of the Old Carthusians team that won the FA Cup Final, in which he scored the opening goal in a 3–0 victory over Old Etonians. Early life Wynyard was born 1 April 1861, at Saharanpur in British India, the son of a magistrate in the Bengal Civil Service. He was educated in England at Woodcote House School, Windlesham, at Charterhouse School from 1874 to 1877, and St Edward's School, Oxford, leaving in 1879. Military career Wynyard was commissioned a lieutenant in the 1st Regiment, Warwick Militia in 1881, transferring to regular service with the King's Liverpool Regiment in May 1883. With the latter he was stationed in India and saw active service in the Burma Expedition 1885–87, winning the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) in the latter year and being twice mentioned in despatches. Promoted captain on 19 March 1890, he transferred again the same year, to the Welch Regiment. He was Adjutant of the Oxford University Volunteers until late 1899, then instructor at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst from 26 December 1899 until August 1902, when he returned to his regiment. He retired in 1903. While in charge of cricket at the college, he arranged an officer cadets' match against W.G. Grace's XI. Two days before the game Grace wrote to say he would be unable to play, but after learning none of the cadets had seen him play, Wynyard cleverly disguised himself with make-up and false beard and played in the match with the visiting team, batting, making several runs and getting purposely hit on the hand to retire 'hurt'. He revealed his identity minus beard and cap at the teams' lunch but no one had seen through the disguise and his realistic imitation of Grace's batting style. After the outbreak of World War I, Wynyard was recalled in September 1914 as Major with the King's Liverpool Regiment, then was attached to the Army Ordnance Corps in May 1915 before transferring to the Middlesex Regiment in November 1916 when he became Commandant at Thornhill Labour Camp, Aldershot. He finally retired in April 1919 when he was awarded
