Duke Does Some Hard Hitting -- Carrying gloves, bat and cap and wearing a do-or-die expression, the Duke of Edinburgh walks to the wicket at Dean Park, Bournemouth, to bat for his own eleven against Hampshire. Hampshire had made 254 for eight wickets declared, and the Duke went in to bat when his own side had made 191 for five. He began with a straight drive for two and added two fine drives for two and added two fine drives for four past mid-off before he was bowled be hill for 12 runs, scored in 13 minutes. The Duke of Edinburgh's XI scored a wicket in hand. September 20, 1949. (Photo by Reuterphoto)
