Duncombe Frederick Buckley (14 July 1831 – 6 September 1855) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
The son of the politician Edward Pery Buckley, he was born in October 1829 at the family home New Hall at Bodenham, Wiltshire.
[1] Buckley played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club on two occasions, playing against Cambridge University on both occasions at Fenner's and Lord's in 1851 and 1852, respectively,[2] though without success as he scored just 9 runs across his two matches.
Buckley served in the British Army during the Crimean War, purchasing the ranks of lieutenant and captain in Royal Scots Fusiliers in October 1853.
[5][6] Buckley was killed in action the following September while posting sentries in the trenches at the Siege of Sevastopol.
