The son of Richard Duppa de Uphaugh senior and Ethel Ricketts, he was born at Camberwell in March 1895.[1] He was educated at Harrow School.[2] His progression to the University of Oxford was interrupted by the commencement of the First World War, with de Uphaugh being commissioned in October 1914 as a temporary second lieutenant in the Royal Fusiliers.[3][4] He was confirmed in the rank of second lieutenant in April 1915,[5] before being promoted to lieutenant in December of the same year.[6] After the conclusion of the war, de Uphaugh proceeded to study at Christ Church, Oxford.[7] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Sussex at Hove in 1919.[8] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 4 runs in the Oxford first innings by George Cox, while in their second innings he was unbeaten on 43.[9] After graduating from Oxford, de Uphaugh continued to serve in the British Army, transferring to the King's Own Royal West Kent Regiment in 1927,[10] before being promoted to captain in March 1929.[11] de Uphaugh died in October 1972 at Hollingbourne, Kent.[12]
