Life and military career

The son of Admiral Sir Thomas Henry Martyn Jerram,[1] he was born at Weymouth and was educated at Marlborough College.[2] After leaving Marlborough, he briefly served in the Hampshire Regiment as a second lieutenant,[3] before studying medicine at the University of Cambridge and at St Thomas' Hospital.[4] He played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire in 1922 and 1923, making two appearances in the Minor Counties Championship.[5] After graduating, he joined the Medical Branch of the Royal Air Force as a flying officer in October 1928.[6] He was promoted to the rank of flight lieutenant in April 1930.[7] He played first-class cricket for the Royal Air Force in 1930, making a single appearance against the Army at The Oval.[8] Batting twice in the match, Jerram was dismissed for a single run in the Royal Air Force first-innings by John Walford, while in their second-innings he was dismissed for 9 runs by Frederick Arnold.[9] He was placed on the retired list in December 1932, on account of ill health.[10]
