A. Banon

According to Readers Guide to The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett:

Banon, Capt. A., Fellow of the Theosophical Society and British Army Officer who supported the Founders in the controversy with the Rev. Joseph Cook. See ODL 2: 329 and SH, p. 167. However, Banon must have written something against KH, since in ML 16 (68), p. 119, KH speaks of the "Banon papyrus" which contained "a severe literary thrashing of my humble self."
