John Robert Shadwell (April 1919 – 25 April 1942) was an English first-class cricketer and British Army officer. Born in Hampshire in April 1919, Shadwell was the son of Frederick Charles and Elsie May Shadwell.[1] After attending Royal Military College, Sandhurst as an officer cadet, he was commissioned on 24 January 1940 as a second lieutenant in the 1st Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment, which at that time was stationed in Madras for coastal defence duties as a result of the outbreak of the Second World War.[1][2] Shadwell appeared in one first-class Madras Presidency match for Europeans against Indians at the Madras Cricket Club Ground on 12 January 1941.[3] He scored 2 runs but was dismissed both innings.[4] On 25 April 1942, Captain Shadwell died of illness at Sagar and was buried at Kirkee War Cemetery, Pune.[1][5]
