Walter Beisiegel

Three years after his last first-class game for the Royal Air Force team, Beisiegel played 10 matches for Leicestershire in the 1934 season as a middle-order batsman.

[7] The Times report said that it was "the most sensational victory of the season": Yorkshire had declared their first innings 102 ahead with only five wickets down but, set 149 to win, were all out for 90.

[8] Two weeks later there was a second victory under Beisiegel's leadership against a team considered greatly superior to Leicestershire when Nottinghamshire were beaten by an innings and 106 runs inside two days at Trent Bridge.

[1] From school, Beisiegel went as a cadet to the Royal Air Force College Cranwell, where he graduated as a pilot officer in December 1927.

In 1942, he was temporarily promoted from wing commander to group captain under the heading of "General Duties".
