About Reginald Hands
Reginald Harry Myburgh Hands was a South African cricketer who played in one Test match in February 1914. He died in France as a result of injuries sustained on the Western Front during the First World War. His death was an indirect cause of the tradition of the two-minute silence, instigated by his father Sir Harry Hands when Mayor of Cape Town. He won the Jamieson prize for the best all-round sportsman at the college in 1906. A useful right-handed batsman, he scored 0 and 7 in a match won convincingly by the visitors by 10 wickets.
