(Sambrooke) Arthur Higgins Burne was educated at Fairfield School, Malvern Link, and then Malvern College, Worcestershire, from 1892 to 1898 before becoming a Pensioner at Peterhouse, Cambridge (1898–1901). He took his BA in 1901 and his MA in 1905 and was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1904. He became a barrister in North Staffordshire and served in World War One, initially as a Second Lieutenant in the 4th (Territorial Force) Battalion of the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. He was then seconded as a Lieutenant to the 2/4th Battalion of the East Yorkshire Regiment in Bermuda, where he landed on 6 November 1916 – i.e. at about the same time as the unit arrived there on garrison duties. (Sambrooke) Arthur and his family returned from the Americas in March 1919, after their elder son had been born in Bermuda (see below). In 1925 he was appointed to the Staffordshire Bench and became the Coroner for Staffordshire. He also developed a scholarly interest in local history and folklore. His younger son, John Christopher Burne (m. Winifred Davies (1920–99) in 1944; two sons, two daughters), became a pathologist, served in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War Two, and devoted much time throughout his life to researching and archiving his family's rich history.
