== Early years ==
Born in Melbourne, he began fencing at the age of 17 - the same year the Australian Amateur Fencing Association was formed (1946). John’s interest and passion for fencing was inspired by the films of Australian actor Errol Flynn with whom he bore an almost identical size and appearance. (He eventually met Flynn at Paris airport in 1954). A natural fencing talent, he won the 1946 Victorian novice and intermediate foil championships and won bronze in the Victorian Open foil championship. In 1949 he won bronze for foil at the inaugural Australian Fencing Championships. Shortly after, he was selected to represent Australia in foil at the 1950 British Empire Games in Auckland, New Zealand and won silver. At the 1951 Australian Fencing Championships he became the first fencer to win gold in epee, foil and sabre - a feat that has only been matched once.
