Louis Tarrant

Tarrant was interred at Karrakatta Cemetery in Perth, Western Australia, following his death in August 1943, aged 39.

Tarrant moved to England at the age of six months, returning to Australia as a young man. He later accompanied his father to India and became guardian and tutor to Yadavindra Singh, the Yuvraj (Crown Prince) of Patiala. He coached the prince in cricket, swimming, soccer and boxing. Yadavindra succeeded his father as Maharaja of Patiala in 1938 and the following year Tarrant was appointed as his aide-de-camp with the rank of captain, the only non-Sikh ADC.

In December 1934, Tarrant made up the numbers as wicket-keeper for Patiala in a non-first-class match against a Bombay XI, led by J. D. Antia. His teammates in that game included his father, Indian Test players Lala Amarnath, Nazir Ali, and Wazir Ali, and Prince Peter of Greece, a cousin of three Kings of Greece and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the future consort of Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. When an Australian team toured during the 1935–36 season, Tarrant was called on to make up the team's numbers in two matches, firstly in a minor match against the Maharaja of Cooch Behar's team in Calcutta, and then in a match against Patiala, which was accorded first-class status.

While resident in India during the early 1930s, Tarrant, aged 29, umpired two first-class matches during an MCC team's 1933–34 tour of Ceylon and India. In the first, beginning on 9 November 1933, Southern Punjab, captained by the Maharaja of Patiala, hosted the Englishmen at Amritsar's Alexandra Ground. Tarrant umpired alongside his father, Frank, who was standing in a first-class match for only the second time (although he went to umpire two of the England–India Test matches played on the tour). Other father-and-son pairs known to have umpired in the same first-class match include M. G. Vijayasarathi and his son M. V. Nagendra, who umpired a match between Mysore and Andhra during the 1960–61 season, and Tom Sewell senior and junior, who umpired an 1863 Gentlemen v Players fixture.

Loris Bernard Napoleon Tarrant (29 December 1903 – c. August 1943) was an Australian cricketer who both played and umpired first-class matches in India during the 1930s. Unusually, he made his debut as a first-class umpire before making his debut as a first-class player.
