Osbert Cautley Mordaunt DSO (26 May 1876 – 20 October 1949) played first-class cricket for Somerset between 1905 and 1910 and for various amateur teams in the years up to 1914.
[1] He was born at Flax Bourton, Somerset and died at Bells Yew Green, East Sussex.
[9] He made little impression in that match or in two further games in 1906, but in the very weak Somerset side of 1907 he appeared 10 times and his slow bowling took 30 wickets.
Mordaunt joined the Somerset Light Infantry and in 1911 was on the staff of the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.
[13] At the end of the First World War, Mordaunt is cited in a report on the final fighting in Italy as Deputy Director of Signals and had been awarded the Distinguished Service Order.
