Frank Chester 

Frank Chester, of 73 Grover Road, Oxhey, was briefly a first-class cricketer before the war. In July 1917, he lost his right arm below the elbow so after the war he turned to umpiring, using an artificail arm to make the signals. He is said to have ‘raised umpiring to a higher level than had ever been known in the history of cricket’.
