Served in the South African War.

Awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO), twice mentioned in despatches.

First team member for Worcestershire County Cricket Club in 1908.

John Winnington is mentioned a number of times in the Regimental book. He was invalided after the battle of Neuve Chapelle from the effects of the strain and exposure of the three days and nights of fighting. Whilst fighting at Gallipoli, his health once again broke down and he was deemed physically unfit for duty. The Gallipoli campaign was the last that the Regiment was to see of that gallant officer, who was destined to fall later at the head of a battalion of another regiment in Palestine. He is mentioned in despatches on 22nd June 1915, 12th July 1916 and 5th June 1917.
