Biography
Henry William St Pierre Bunbury (1812-1875) was a British soldier who served for three years in the Australian colonies: New South Wales 1834-35, Tasmania 1835-36, and Western Australia 1836-37.
The city of Bunbury, Western Australia is named after him. He was also involved in the "pacification" of the Avon valley, and notorious for his extensive collection of Aboriginal ears, from Aborigines that he had slain.
