Beaufort Burdekin (27 December 1891 – 15 May 1963) was a British rower who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics.[1]
Burdekin was born in Dorset but came from an Australian family after whom the Burdekin River was named.[2] He was educated at Cheltenham College[3] and at New College, Oxford. He was a crew member of the New College eight which won the silver medal for Great Britain rowing at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[4] In 1914 he was a member of the Oxford Boat in the Boat Race.
Burdekin became a member of Inner Temple. He served in the Royal Field Artillery during World War I and was wounded in action in France.[5][6] In 1920 he went with his family to Sydney, Australia where he was a barrister.
Burdekin married the feminist novelist Katharine Penelope Cade in 1915. They had two daughters, Katharine Jayne (b. 1917) and Helen Eugenie (b. 1920). The marriage ended in 1922.[7]
