Auberon Herbert (landowner)

Auberon Mark Yvo Henry Molyneux Herbert[1] (1922–1974) was a British landowner and advocate of Eastern European causes after World War II.

After the Second World War broke out he made repeated attempts to serve, but was rejected by the British Army, the Free French and the Dutch forces in Britain.

[2] He was a founder and chairman[3] of the Anglo-Belarusian Society and a parishioner of the Belarusian Eastern Rite Catholic Church in Finchley[4] and was described as "the man who started British-Belarusian collaboration".

[6] A recently released CIA document names a "Mr. Herbert AUBERON of 11 Neville Terrace, London, SW 7" as one of two representatives of the British Conservative Party who met the Ukrainian nationalist leader Yaroslav Stetsko in early 1951.

[8] Despite high intelligence and a circle of distinguished friends (including Isaiah Berlin and Malcolm Muggeridge), Herbert seemed unable to accomplish as much in his life as he hoped.
