"SIR JOHN SWANWICK BRADBURY (1872-), English civil servant, was born at Winsford, Cheshire, Sept. 23 1872 and educated at the Manchester grammar school and Brasenose College, Oxford. He entered the civil service in 1896. Beginning in the Colonial Office, he was soon transferred to the Treasury. In 1911 he was appointed a member of the National Health Insurance Commission, but in 1913 returned to the Treasury as joint permanent secretary. In that capacity it fell to his lot to sign the currency notes issued by the Government when gold was withdrawn from circulation on the outbreak of the World War. Hence their first popular name of " Bradburys." He was made K.C.B. in 1913, and in 1919 was appointed chief British representative on the Reparations Commission. In 1920 he was given the G.C.B.
