John King grew up during the years of the Great Famine in a thatched whitewashed cottage in the village of Moy, County Tyrone. To ensure he escaped a life of poverty his father (himself a soldier) enrolled him at the Royal Hibernian School, a military college in Dublin. At the age of fourteen King found himself a member of the British army. In his neat handwriting he wrote down his particulars in his regimental account book:
Height: 5 feet 1 inches

Next of kin: William and Samuel King (brothers, 70th regiment)
Date of birth: December 15th 1838
