   Written by them both, but mostly by Sidney, is an account of their 'exciting adventures' when they went Big Game Shooting in East Africa which, whilst horrendous in my 21st century viewpoint, makes for interesting reading. I am in no way proud of my grandfather's 'achievements', or of the numerous 'trophies' that he arranged to be sent to Bath for display in the City Club in Milsom Street (1)! Having said that, I guess it was a different time back then, when young wealthy gentleman had nothing better to do than fulfil their testosterone-fuelled hunting trips for nothing more than mere prestige! It would however not be too long before they were asked to 'hunt' a different type of prey altogether.  |
