Stephen Tempest Adair Radcliffe (24 August 1904 – 25 April 1982) was an Irish first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
Born at Ballybrittas, Radcliffe studied at Trinity College, Dublin. While studying at Trinity, he was a member of the Dublin University Cricket Club. He accompanied the club on its tours to England in 1925 and 1926, playing in two first-class fixtures, both against Northamptonshire at Northampton.[1] He scored 28 runs in these two matches,[2] as well as taking one wicket.[3]
He presumably moved to England after this, as he enlisted into the British Army in July 1929.[4] He obtained the rank of second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers in November 1929.[5] He was promoted to lieutenant in February 1932.[6] In August 1938, he was promoted to captain.[7] He served in World War II, following the war he was promoted to major in February 1946.[8] In March 1951, he gained the rank of lieutenant colonel.[9] He retired from the Royal Engineers in November 1958, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.[10] Having been placed on the reserve list, his age exceeded this in February 1962.[11] He died at Netherbury in Dorset in April 1982.
