East Africa & Rhodesia - 26/7/56 - Mr P.H. Hamilton Bayly, who is about to take up an appointment as officer in charge of the Prisons Administration of Zanzibar, went to Kenya in 1929 as a pupil farmer and after a spell as a farm manager joined the Kenya Prison Service in 1932. Four years later he was transferred to the Prison Service of the United Kingdom, and in 1939 went to Sierra Leone as superintendent in charge of prisons.

On the outbreak of war he was also appointed commandant of the internment camp for enemy aliens. He went to Northern Rhodesia in 1945 as Deputy Commissioner of Prisons, became Commissioner in Nyasaland two years later, and served there until he was seconded to the Federal Government in August 1955 as Deputy Director of the Federal Prison Service. Having just retired on pension he has opted for activity in Zanzibar. Mrs Hamilton Bayly will accompany him to East Africa, but their son, who is in the British South Africa Police, and their daughter, who is in business in Salisbury, will remain in Rhodesia.
