Leader14 - Dr. Small - Mombasa Crozier - "Perhaps most difficult were the poor medical facilities in both urban and rural postings. Robert Small, on arrival to Jubaland, Kenya, in the first years of the century was dismayed to find the European hospital practically 'useless for its purpose....Officers who left the Colonial Medical Service because of mental breakdown (perhaps caused as much by the stresses of the job as those of the climate) included Peter Milne and Robert Small."
