William Joseph Montague Beardmore (18 July 1894 — 29 December 1978) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and British Army officer.
Beardmore was born in July 1894 at Renfrew. He was educated at the Loretto School, before matriculating to Clare College, Cambridge.[1] [2] Beardmore served in the First World War and was commissioned into the Gordon Highlanders as a second lieutenant in January 1915. He was promoted to lieutenant in March 1916, before being promoted to captain in June 1917. He was wounded in action during the war.[1]
A club cricketer for the West of Scotland Cricket Club, Beardmore made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Scotland against the touring South Africans at Glasgow in 1924.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 2 runs by Cec Dixon in the Scotland first innings, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 3 runs by the same bowler.[4] He later moved to London, where he was the manager of the London arm of William Beardmore and Company.[1] Beardmore died at Haywards Heath in December 1978.[2]
