C. F. Dixon-Johnson

A little-known early 20th-century British writer, he is remembered for forceful books on the Armenian question. Surviving records suggest he was also an army officer, which gives his work an unusual mix of political argument and military-era perspective.

About the author

C. F. Dixon-Johnson was the pen name of Cuthbert Francis Dixon-Johnson, a British author born in 1871. Library and archive records for The Armenians identify him by that full name, and the book itself places him at Croft-on-Tees, Yorkshire, in February 1916.

He is best known for The Armenians (1916) and for The Armenian Question; Its Meaning to Great Britain (published around 1914). These works focus on Armenian history, politics, and Britain’s role in the Near East, showing him as a writer deeply engaged with international affairs of his day.

Some surviving historical listings also indicate that Cuthbert Francis Dixon-Johnson served as an officer in the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons and was educated at Sandhurst. Clear biographical information about his wider life appears to be scarce, so much of what remains visible today comes through his published books rather than through a detailed public record.
