Both broke new ground with Ulysses (loosely based on Homer's Odyssey) introducing the 'stream of consciousness' narrative technique, and The Waste Land experimenting with multiple voices and a patchwork of literary, historic, mythological and personal allusions.International

I think the correct number is the 19th Baron of Bletso.
Moubray St John was the 19th baron.
I have seen some photos on your site, which all are named the 18th.

If you look here, it looks like the same man.

The name of the 18th Baron of Bletso was Henry St John.
