Keith Barlow (27 August 1890 – 5 April 1930) was an English amateur

Wiggins Teape.[1] Barlow played two first-class cricket matches for Kent County Cricket Club and was associated with the club as a member of the Committee in the 1920s.[1] He was a right-handed batsman
who died in 1930 aged 39 after suffering from ill health for much of his life.

Early and family life

Barlow was the second son of Alice and Edward Percy Barlow and was born in

Thomas Mawson to design the gardens, one of Mawson's first independent commissions.[3][4]

Barlow was educated as a boarder at

British army as a reserve officer in 1911. He became a director of Wiggins Teape in 1912, the year his father died, and married Elsie Allen in 1913.[1][3] The couple had two sons.[2]

Cricket career

Barlow made a single appearance for the

Minor Counties Championship.[5][8] making a number of "useful" scores batting for the side.[2] He also played club cricket for Band of Brothers, an amateur side associated with Kent's county team.[2]

Military career

Barlow was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the

Gallipoli Campaign in September 1915,[10] serving as second in command of the 3/1st REKMR.[1][9]

Barlow relinquished his commission due to ill health in December 1915, having been declared unfit for service by a medical board. He was found to be suffering from chronic nephritis, hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure. He had suffered nephritis, an inflammation of the kidneys, for 12 years and the disease was responsible for his ill health throughout much of his life.[1]

Barlow was awarded a Silver War Badge in 1916. He requested a medical re-examination in 1917 but was found permanently unfit for service.[1]

Later life

Barlow was appointed Chairman of

Wiggins Teape in 1925, having been a director since 1912. He was treasurer of the Royal St George's Golf Club in Sandwich and was elected a General Committee member at Kent County Cricket Club in 1920. He died in April 1930 aged 39.[1][11]
