Bertie Clarke
Carlos Bertram Clarke OBE (7 April 1918 – 14 October 1993) was a West Indian cricketer who played in three Tests in 1939. During the war when three-day cricket was an impossibility due to the demands of labour for the military, Clarke was the leading bowler for the British Empire XI which played one-day matches across the country. He took 98 wickets for 11.48 runs apiece in 1941 and bettered this with 129 for 10.17 apiece in 1942. A fine leg-spinner, he was for a time a guest of the Queen, after which, according to an  admiring Leo Cooper, he returned “the same as ever and continued to weave his spells over a host of club cricketers”. After the war, Clarke played frequently though not regularly for Northamptonshire in 1946 and 1947, and much later for Essex in 1959 and 1960.
