Claim: Elliot Tillard participated in the cricket season in Scotland (1912) when he played twice for the Scottish national team, having a role as a wicketkeeper, and while playing against Heriot's cricket club he had his highest score in first-class cricket when he scored in the first innings.
Evidence: In 1912, he was in England for the cricket season and played nine times for Somerset, playing as a batsman. His first appearances in first-class cricket were for the Europeans team in the Bombay Presidency matches at Pune and the Bombay Triangular competition. His highest score in these matches (and his highest in first-class cricket) came in the match against Gloucestershire at Taunton, when he made 39 in the first innings and followed with 29 in the second.
