General Information:
Habari 16 - Bernard [Sheldon], Paddy Ross and I were posted to Maseno to open a new Training Depot commanded by the ASP D.D. McGoun and the 3 of us in the exalted rank of 2AI early in 1939. I recall the awful mud huts that we were quartered in, as well as the rather grim conditions under which we lived.
