John Pelham Mann

John Pelham Mann MC (13 June 1919 – 8 September 2002) was an English business executive, cricketer and decorated British Army officer.

A right-handed batsman, he missed his cricket blue due to illness, but he was considered an exciting prospect before the Second World War broke out.

He played in fifteen first-class matches for Middlesex between 1939 and 1947, being awarded his county cap in 1946.

Mann's squadron attacked some well hidden anti-tank guns at night and forced them to withdraw.
