John Dunn (8 June 1862 – 10 October 1892) was an English first-class cricketer who played with Surrey and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). [1] He also played cricket for Hong Kong later in his career.
Dunn was educated at Harrow School and played his cricket as an amateur. A right-handed batsman, he made four first-class appearances for Surrey in 1881 and two for the MCC the following year. [2] Although he was used as a specialist batsman he struggled in his matches, except for an innings of 38 not out which he made when playing with Surrey against Kent at Mote Park. [3] His only other first-class match was for the Gentlemen of England, whom he represented against I Zingari in 1889. [4]
After serving as a cadet at the Royal Military College at Sandhurst, Dunn joined the Liverpool Regiment in 1882 and was promoted to the rank of captain seven years later. [5] In 1889 he was posted to Hong Kong with the Army Service Corps and began playing cricket for the UK territory. [6]
He represented the Hong Kong cricket team in Interport matches, during 1891 and 1892. In a match against Shanghai which Hong Kong hosted, Dunn scored 107 to help his team win by an innings and 123 runs. [7] Later that year in October, Hong Kong played an away match against Shanghai and travelled home on the SS Bokhara, which sank in a typhoon off the coast of Formosa. Dunn was killed along with ten of his teammates.
