Wolseley-Lewis - married Joan on 30th November 1946 at Nairobi DC's Office. Joan's family were the Hoares of Stourhead, the bankers. On her mother's side were the Frobishers, a well-known name in Naval history, going back to Elizabethan times. Her Great Grandmother, Georgina Hoare, had an affair and produced an illegitimate son. Who the father was has been kept secret, but it was someone who could not, for whatever reason, acknowledge parenthood. Anyway she was thrown out of the family and subsequently got a job in Crewkerne. Here she met George Leyh from Spa in Belgium and married him and he took on her son, who later married and also had a son, George Leyh, who married Muriel Frobisher, Joan's mother. Her father became a Captain in the Royal Navy and was posted to Singapore after WW1, in which he had fought in the battle of Jutland.

Gazette 6 Dec 1938 Kiambu Voters List

Pre-war volunteer to the Kenya Regiment (KR 804).

Marlborough Coll: He arrived in Kenya on his 19th birthday and became a farm pupil. During the War (1939-45) he served with the King’s African Rifles (2/4 KAR) in the conquest of the Italians in Abysinnia, then in the Madagascar campaign, ending the War in Burma with the 14th Army, where he was mentioned in dispatches. Tragically his wife, Anne, whom he had married in 1940 and who was a highly qualified Nursing Sister was drowned when her ship was torpedoed en route to Ceylon. Arthur ended the War as a Major. After the War he returned to farming in Kenya and in 1946 married Joan, who survives him. Arthur retired from farming and had a spell as a Courier, guide and friend of rich tourists, before spending a few years as a Hunter at world-famous Treetops. 1953, during the Mau Mau Emergency, truck loads of British soldiers were entertained at their farm with home-made food and comforts until Mau Mau burnt the farm down when the Wolseley-Lewises were on their regular monthly shopping trip to the nearby town 25 miles away. He was the Executive Officer of St John Ambulance, during the first visit of Pope John Paul to Kenya. Finally, he retired to the Nairobi area, where he was much in demand as a talented artist of animals and a skillful repairer of broken china. Wosleley-Lewis [sic] was also a masterly bridge and snooker player. Although his final years were clouded by ill-health, he managed to write an idiosyncratic autobiography “Empire to Dust”. In his last year he appeared on British Television in the programme “Empire’s Children” with Lord Steel. He is survived by Joan Wolseley-Lewis and his step-daughter, Garland.

https://www.spink.com/lot/17003000596 Arthur Wolseley-Lewis was born on 8 September 1911, the son of Dr. H. W. Lewis, and was educated at Marlborough College, where he played rugby for the 1st XV.
Active service
His subsequent ambition to become a farmer in Kenya was interrupted by the outbreak of hostilities in September 1939, when he enlisted in the Kenya Regiment; he had earlier been a member of the colony's Defence Force.
Subsequently commissioned in the 6th King's African Rifles, he transferred to 3/4th K.A.R. as a Mortar Officer and caught the tail end of the campaign against the Italians in Abyssinia in 1941. To his dismay, it proved a difficult 'tail' to catch, for the Italians were in full retreat. He was afterwards employed in operations against the Vichy French in Madagascar but - for his part - these also proved to be of the non-combatant kind.
It was about this time that personal tragedy struck. His wife, Ann, whom he had married in 1940, was drowned when her ship, the S.S. Khedive Ismail, was torpedoed off the Maldives in February 1942. She was on her way to Ceylon as a Nursing Sister in the East African Military Nursing Service.
In Burma, he found plenty of opportunity to avenge her death and to distinguish himself, winning a mention in despatches (London Gazette 27 September 1945, refers). His autobiography speaks in volumes of hardships suffered and of a determination to seek out and destroy the enemy:
'We had to try and exterminate the vermin, who stayed in their fox-holes and had to be destroyed by fire. They were there to delay us and they did. I am afraid we really enjoyed killing them. For me, having lived like an animal, at the best under canvas, I was going to find it difficult to become socially human again.'
At Imphal the scene resembled a First World War battlefield:
'The ground was all pockmarked with shell craters and the trees were broken stumps. There was the usual litter of battle, broken weapons, empty shell cases, ammunition boxes, etc., scattered all over the place … The smell was appalling, but in time we got used to it. There were hundreds of dead and others were dying of beri-beri, malnutrition, malaria, wounds, no food and no medical care. The Japanese Imperial Army had abandoned them.'
It was in the subsequent advance to the Chindwin that Wolseley-Lewis obtained some memorable trophies of war: 
'The next bit of excitement we had was when a Jap position had been attacked and an officer, Ted Onslow, had been wounded and lost an eye. 'B' Company was sent to try and catch this lot trying to retire. I laid an ambush at a river crossing, not that there was much water in it. We caught them and in a brief action killed six of them, including the leader, who was an N.C.O., but carried a sword and the gang's flag with their names on it. I still have them!' 
The crossing of the Chindwin was undertaken in rubber dinghies: 
'The river in the middle was flowing very rapidly and this was the biggest problem. It was at night and I ordered everyone to unbuckle their equipment, so that if they capsized they would not go straight to the bottom. One lot did turn over and drowned; another lot ended up a mile downstream, but the majority made it near enough to the rendezvous on the other bank. I must admit I was in a pretty good funk, not knowing whether there would be a burst of machine-gun fire while we were in midstream and unable to retaliate … the Jap Zeros did come over but were seen off with anti-aircraft fire.'
On being rested from active service, Wolseley-Lewis opted to return to the U.K. to see his parents. 
'I was in a sort of state of limbo and could not adjust. I was mentally in a state of shock or deadened by malaria. I was very thin and unable to eat much because I had been used to concentrated foods. I was a very difficult person, bad-tempered, argumentative, stubborn and a sick man. My poor parents gave me a great welcome, but they had not seen me for 15 years and I was a stranger. They wanted to love and understand me, but had no idea how to go about it.'
Wolseley-Lewis returned to Kenya and achieved his ambition to become a farmer.
During the Mau Mau troubles in the 1950s he served as Police Reservist and truck loads of British troops were entertained at his farm with home-made food and comforts. Such generous hospitality came at an additional cost for, in 1953, whilst he and his second wife were away on their regular monthly shopping trip, the Mau Mau burnt the farm down.
Farming aside, Wolseley-Lewis served as Executive of St. John Ambulance during the first visit of Pope John Paul to Kenya. In retirement, he settled in the Nairobi area, where he was much in demand as a talented wildlife artist.
In his autobiography Empire to Dust (2007), Wolseley-Lewis reflected on all manner of subject matter in respect of his days in Kenya. Notable among his observations in respect of the "Happy Valley" set was his forthright pronouncement on the identity of the murderer of 'Joss' Hay, Earl of Erroll, in February 1941. He dismissed modern-day speculation as 'mumbo jumbo' and named the murderer as an ex-cavalry officer in the pay of Secret Intelligence Service: his evidence was based on the fact that the assassin went straight to his own aunt's house after firing the fatal shot. 
A 'masterly bridge and snooker player', Wolseley-Lewis died on 16 February 2008, shortly after his appearance in Channel 4's Empire's Children series.
