The son of Charles Fitzroy Doll, he was educated at Charterhouse School where he excelled as a schoolboy cricketer between 1905 and 1907. He scored 195 runs against Westminster School in his final year at school as he and RLL Braddell put on a stand of 214 in the last hour. From Charterhouse he went up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1]
