Author Biography
John Henry Herbert St. John was born in France on 4 December 1835. His father was an illegitimate son of Viscount Bolingbroke, who had fallen in love with his half-sister. Together they moved to France to save the family any embarrassment. For a while the family lived incognito under the assumed surname Barton. At the age of 19, St. John enlisted as ensign with the 20th Regiment of Foot. He saw brief action in the Crimean War, the war ending six months after he arrived. He came home a Lieutenant and went on to purchase a Captain's commission in 1860, aged twenty-four. The rest of his time with the 20th Regiment of Foot was spent in England and Ireland. In December 1862 St. John sold his commission, resigned from the army, and moved to New Zealand. On arrival St. John signed up with the Auckland Militia and gained a commission as Major, dated 29 October 1863. He then joined the 1st Regiment of the Waikato Militia and served in Waikato, Tauranga, Opotiki, and the East Coast.
