Alan Edwards describes the life and times of the remarkable (Lord) Lionel Tennyson who scored a century on his first-class debut in 1913, led his troops heroically in the First World War trenches, and returned to lead his Hampshire side in some of their finest years to that point in the 1920s. Alan recounts his extraordinary first Test as captain when he batted one-handed defying the all-conquering Australians and traces his later years when Lord Tennyson found the 1940s social changes in post-war Britain little to his liking.
