Archibald Fargus

Archibald Hugh Conway Fargus MA (15 December 1878 – 6 October 1963) was an English cricketer who was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast.

[3] Fargus made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire in the 1900 County Championship against Middlesex.

However, in 1904 he represented Devon in that season's Minor Counties Championship, playing a single match against Glamorgan.

A. H. C. Fargus was not lost, as stated in the Press, in Admiral Cradock's flagship, the Monmouth, on 1 November 1914.

Missing a train, he was prevented from re-joining the ship just before it left for the Pacific and was appointed to another.

[15] But by a quirk of fate he missed the train and was thus unable to board the ship, instead being posted to another.

Unlike his 'death' in 1914, his actual death was not reported in the 1964 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack and his obituary did not appear until the 1994 edition.
