Military career
Henry Mackinnon was born in London on 15 December 1852. Educated at Rose Hill School and then Harrow School, he was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards in 1870.[1] He was appointed Military Secretary to Governor of Malta in 1884 and then Private Secretary to the Governor of Madras in India in 1885–1887.[2] He then became Assistant Adjutant General at Home District in 1893.[2]
After the outbreak of the Second Boer War in October 1899, a corps of imperial volunteers from London was formed in late December 1899.

It proceeded to South Africa in January 1900, returned in October the same year, and was disbanded in December 1900. Colonel Mackinnon was appointed Colonel commandant of the corps 22 December 1899,[3] and served as such until it was disbanded.
He was invested as a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) on 11 August 1902.[4][5]
