Hugo Evans Armitage (28 April 1895 — 1966) was an English first-class cricketer and an officer in both the British Army and the British Indian Army.

The son Ernest Armitage,[1] he was born at Wallington in April 1895. Armitage began his career in the British Army prior to the First World War as a rifleman with the London Regiment.[2] He gained a commission in the First World War as a temporary second lieutenant; initially with the Tank Corps and then with the Green Howards, before being appointed to the Army Cyclist Corps, appointments which all happened in August 1915.[3][4] In August 1916, he was made a temporary lieutenant,[5] before being made a temporary captain whilst serving with the Machine Gun Corps in December 1917.[6] Amritage was transferred to the British Indian Army following the end of the war, where he was appointed as a temporary lieutenant in December 1918.[7] Whilst commanding a company in the 33rd Punjabis, he was appointed a temporary captain in July 1919;[8] he gained the full rank of captain in May 1920.[9]

Whilst serving in British India, Armitage made a single appearance in first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team against the Hindus at Lahore in the 1927–28 Lahore Tournament.[10] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 6 runs opening the batting by Gurdit Singh, whilst in their second innings he batted from the middle order and was dismissed without scoring by Jagan Mehta.[11] He retired from active service in March 1933.[12] He was recalled to active service during the Second World War, serving in the British Indian Army as a brevet major in November 1939.[13] Armitage later died in England at Marlborough in 1966.
