John Hampden Mercer-Henderson, 8th Earl of Buckinghamshire JP (16 April 1906 – 2 January 1963), styled Lord Hobart until 1930, was a British soldier and politician. ==Background, education and early life== Born John Hampden Hobart-Hampden-Mercer-Henderson, Buckinghamshire was the son of Sidney Hobart-Hampden-Mercer-Henderson, 7th Earl of Buckinghamshire and Georgiana Wilhelmina Haldane-Duncan-Mercer-Henderson. He was educated at Eton from September 1919 to March 1924. In his youth he was regarded as a very handsome and dashing young man, much sought after by his female contemporaries who thought him adorable, but Bertie, an adventurous young man, eschewed marriage in favour of exploration and foreign travel. In 1926 he boarded a freighter bound for Australia and worked on farms in the outback as a cowboy herding cattle. But with his father's health worsening he was called back to England. He landed at Hull docks on 21 April 1928〔Simon, Tomlin (2009), (''Sons of Soldiers'' ), Aardvark Global Publishing. p. 28. ISBN 1-4276-4195-1〕 after a six-week voyage from Brisbane via Sydney to Hull. On the Incoming Passenger Register his occupation was listed as ‘Gentleman Farmer’. He succeeded his father in the earldom in January 1930. On 5 April 1938 his name was legally changed to John Hampden Mercer-Henderson by Royal Licence. Despite his love of the countryside he continued to set hearts racing in society London but much preferred the open spaces to bustling city life. He was on excellent terms with his Hobart cousins; the Baronets of Langdown and often visited his cousins on the Isle of Wight and Hythe in Hampshire.
