Captain Sholto Douglas was one of four brothers who played for Middlesex after being in the XI at Dulwich.

A professional soldier, he served in the Boer War and then helped his brother, James, run a prep school in Godalming. He joined up on the outbreak of war in 1914 and was killed serving with the 16th Middlesex regiment.
