'John James Ferris, a left-arm swing bowler, was one of the few cricketers to play Test cricket for more than one country.
Ferris' end was a tragic one: he enlisted in the British Army for the Second Boer War, but contracted typhoid and died at Durban, South Africa at the age of 33.' (From: Wikipedia entry)
