KAD 1922 - Administration Cadet, Mombasa

Curtis - Paddy Schofield - Life in Lamu in the Inter War years - ......... Jack Clive had lost an arm in the War and I remember the fascinating way in which he used the stump to throw the ball up when serving at tennis. I rather think there was tennis every Sunday - on two courts built up behind the old town, and a real social occasion it was. The Goan Government clerks played too, and at least one of the Lamu bands commenced proceedings with God Save the King.

Dominion - District Officer - 1930

Nicholls - Jack Strachey composed this verse about the formidable Jane, J.H. Clive's wife: We're not the sort of slackers who just lie about on sofas, We're out and out attackers and we hate the lazy loafers, We're England's working daughters and we're proud of what we do, We're just about three-quarters of the white man's burden too.

Afr.s.678  His parents were both professional singers, his father Franklin Clive working for Carl Rosa Opera Company and his mother Ethel Bevans. He did the Tropical African Services course at the Imperial Institute. Was posted to Kisumu where the DC was Hugh La Fontaine, very handsome with blue eyes. Brian Bond, an Irishman, was a fellow ADC. Bond founded the Kisumu Purity League from a which had 10 maxims, two of which were work is the curse of the drinking classes and sobriety is a menace to civilization. Then he was transferred to Mombasa. In 1922 he returned to England and became a pupil of Alice Werner at SOAS. When he returned to Kenya he was posted to Kakamega, a station which had superseded Mumias because of the dangers of living at Mumias. Did not have permanent buildings and he lived in mud and wattle bands, and then was posted to Fort Hall. Then he went to Kilifi, a beautiful site well laid out by Fazan in 1919. In 1927 he was posted to Lamu to take over from Shirley Victor Cooke. There two years and 10 months in Lamu, a town apathetic and dilapidated after the abolition of slavery. Lived in a magnificent Arab house with the ivory horn of Pate and its bronze replica. Charles Edward Whitton had come to Lamu in 1910; he wore a spotless white with a stiff collar - he had curios and a coconut plantation. Moved to Isiolo in February 1931.

At Kericho we started the Kericho Co-optimists for which I wrote the lyrics. Miss Jardine the nursing sister and Alan Howell the MO were comedians.
