Dennis Bingham

John Dennis Yelverton Bingham (11 August 1880 to 28 December 1940), known as Dennis Bingham, was a British Olympic polo player. He was born in Bangor, County Down, in Northern Ireland, to John George Barry Bingham and Matilda Catherine Ward. He competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris and won the bronze medal with his teammates Frederick Guest, Frederick W. Barrett and Kinnear Wise. He died in Cirencester on 28 December 1940. The English Wikipedia article on him is short, so this entry keeps to those facts; polo itself is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and the 1924 tournament was one of the few times it formed part of the Olympic Games.
