John Mulgan

John Mulgan was born on 31 December 1911 in Christchurch. A student in Auckland, then at Merton College, Oxford, which he left in 1935 with first-class honours in English, he joined the Clarendon Press the same year, was New Zealand's observer at the League of Nations and wrote foreign-affairs columns with Geoffrey Cox. Enlisting in the British army, he fought in 1943-1944 alongside the Greek partisans, received the Military Cross and died in Cairo in April 1945, shortly after finishing his memoir, Report on Experience.
