Lives of the First World War

known 1917

Sec. Lieut. St. John Green, Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, who was killed on December 6, 1917, aged 35, was the eldest son of the late Colonel E. R. Green, V .D., J.P ., formerly of Kempston Lodge, Bedfordshire. He was educated at Bedford School (of which his great-grandfather, Dr. John Brereton, was Headmaster from 1811 to 1855), and joined the firm of T. and H. Green, timber im- porters, of London. He joined the Inns of Court O.T.C. at the beginning of the present year, being gazetted to the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers last September. He had been on active service less than six weeks when he was killed, gallantly leading his men into action. In 1908 he married Margaret Agnes, eldest daughter of the late John Hornby, Rye Close, Bedford, and niece of Sir W. H. Hornby, Bart., late M.P. for Blackburn. She and two small sons survive him.—reproduced from the Times, and by permission of Bedford School
