The son of John Mallinson, he was born at Dulwich in June 1898. He was educated in Scotland at Fettes College, where he played for the college cricket team.[1] Mallinson served in the British Indian Army in the First World War, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in February 1918.[2] He was promoted to captain in October 1920,[3] with promotion to captain following in January 1923.[4] In British India, he made his debut in first-class cricket for the Europeans cricket team against the Hindus at Lahore in the 1923–24 Lahore Tournament,[5] scoring 68 runs in the Europeans second innings.[6] Against the Sikhs in the 1925–26 Lahore Tournament, he scored what would be his only first-class century, with a score of 112 opening the batting.[7] In addition to playing for the Europeans, Mallinson also played first-class cricket for the Indian Army cricket team, Southern Punjab and Northern India, all against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club in November 1926.[5] He made two further first-class appearances, both for the Europeans in 1928 and 1935.[5] In eight first-class matches, he scored 432 runs at an average of exactly 27; with the ball, he took 6 wickets at a bowling average of 22.83, with best figures of 4 for 35.[8]
Serving in the Indian Army with the 17th Dogra Regiment by 1932,[2] he was promoted to major in January 1936,[9] prior to being transferred to the unemployed list in April of the same year.[10] Mallinson later became a schoolmaster in Kenya Colony.[1] He died in England at Shoreham-by-Sea in November 1991.
