General Sir Arthur James Herbert KCB (21 January 1820 – 24 November 1897) was a Welsh officer in the British Army who was Quartermaster-General to the Forces.[1]
Herbert was born in Llansantffraed, Monmouthshire,[2] the second son of James A. Jones of Llanarth, Monmouthshire, and Lady Harriet Plunkett, daughter of Arthur Plunkett, 8th Earl of Fingall, a prominent Irish Roman Catholic peer. He was educated at Prior Park Roman Catholic College[1] and Christ Church, Oxford, earning a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1882.[3]
Along with other members of his family, he changed his surname to Herbert in 1848.[4]
