marshall porter

andrew marshall porter -lrb- 6 january 1874 -- 5 june 1900 -rrb- was an irish barrister who was killed in the second boer war while fighting for the imperial yeomanry .
he was also a noted sportsman , representing ireland at both cricket and field hockey .
born at donnycarney , porter was the son of andrew marshall porter , sr. -lrb- later 1st baronet -rrb- , a lawyer who was an mp for londonderry and served variously as ireland 's solicitor-general , attorney-general , and master of the rolls .
the elder porter sent his son to harrow school , where he kept wicket for the school 's cricket team and was praised by james lillywhite , a former england captain , as a `` very hard hitter '' .
in 1892 , he played in the annual match between eton and harrow at lord 's , which harrow won .
despite being offered a scholarship to oxford , porter opted to return home to study law at the university of dublin .
he continued his cricket career for the dublin university cricket club , and during the 1895 season , played in four matches with status -- against the marylebone cricket club -lrb- mcc -rrb- in dublin , against leicestershire and cambridge university on a brief tour of england , and then a return fixture against cambridge university in dublin .
he played solely as a batsman -lrb- arthur gwynn being given the wicket-keeping duties -rrb- , with his highest score being 44 against leicestershire .
in 1896 , porter was selected to represent the irish national team against the mcc , in a match that did not have first-class status .
he scored 18 runs as ireland won by an innings , but did not play for his country again .
during the irish winter , during which no cricket was played , porter played hockey for the three rock rovers , gaining selection for the national hockey team in 1897 .
after graduating from dublin university , he was called to the irish bar , becoming a barrister .
however , in 1900 , porter enlisted as a private in the 45th -lrb- dublin -rrb- company of the imperial yeomanry , and was sent to south africa .
in june of that year , while fighting at ladywood -lrb- near lindley in the orange free state -rrb- , he was badly wounded and four days later died of wounds .
porter 's death was commemorated by his father with the establishment of the marshall porter memorial prize , for classics students , as well as a stained-glass window in the graduates memorial building .
