Archibald Carmichael Williamson (11 November 1892 – 17 September 1972) was an Argentine-born English first-class cricketer.
Williamson was born in the Anglo-Argentine neighbourhood of Hurlingham in Buenos Aires. He moved to United Kingdom as a child, where he was educated in Edinburgh at Fettes College.[1] From there he went up to Brasenose College, Oxford.[1] While at Oxford, Williamson made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Scotland at Oxford in 1913.[2] Batting twice during the match, Williamson was dismissed for 8 runs by William Benskin, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 10 runs by Robert Sievwright.[3] He also played minor counties cricket for Cheshire in the same year, making one appearance against Lincolnshire.[4]
At the start of the First World War, Williamson was enlisted in the Royal Garrison Artillery in August 1914 as a second lieutenant, but his appointment was cancelled in the same month. He instead enlisted with the Royal Navy in September 1914 as a sub-lieutenant. Williamson died at Highcroft Hospital in Birmingham in September 1972, with his death notice listing his profession as a retired schoolmaster.
