Vivian Francis Bulkeley-Johnson

Vivian Francis Bulkeley-Johnson (15 January 1891 – 14 February 1968)[1] was the aide-de-camp to Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire, the Governor General of Canada from 1916 to 1918.

He was the only son born to Francis Head Bulkeley-Johnson, an English barrister, and Helen Percy Stoughton.

[7][8] In 1912, he gazetted to the 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade and then served in India from April 1914 to September 1914, followed by service on the Western Front in France during World War I, from November 1914 until March 1915, where he was wounded at Neuve-Chapelle on 10 March 1915,[8] during the Battle of Neuve Chapelle in which it was captured, not for the first time, by the IV and I Indian Corps.

[16] From his second marriage, he became incredibly wealthy and lived in a four-story brick home in Kensington,[17] and on a 240 acre farm in the village of Churchill northwest of Oxford, known as the Mount, where he "took an interest in inland waterways, running a company that operated boats on the Oxford and other canals".

Bulkeley-Johnson was a collector of Chinese art which included a "series of ceramic wares ranging from the Neolithic period to the Ch'ing dynasty".
