Old Africa 11 - George McCall writes - "My father, Frederick McCall, joined the Colonial Service as a veterinarian and was sent to Kenya. On landing at Mombasa in 1911 he was assigned to the area south of the railway line. The only other vet in Kenya at the time had the area north of the rail line. Pa identified rinderpest in East African cattle, being well versed in the disease because my grandfather had been an adviser to the Czar of Russia on rinderpest. This discovery made Pa very unpopular with officialdom as the disease had previously been identified by the pundits as coccidiosis.

On the outbreak of the 1914 war he was detailed to the South African Forces under General van Deventer. They put Pa in charge of all remounts. He got on very well with the General and the South African troops, many of whom had fought against the British in the Boer War. Being one of the few people who spoke Swahili, Pa became involved with Intelligence too. There were tremendous fatalities amongst the horses from disease. Pa reckoned about 120,000 horses died in the East African Campaign. A horse survived only about six weeks after entering the tsetse fly belts. Probably there were more deaths amongst the troops from disease than wounds, too. Pa estimated one way or another he had walked from Maktau on the Kenya border to Port Amelia in Mozambique. Finding the German forces in Tanganyika was very difficult as the British did not know the country. At the end of the war Pa was appointed director of the new Veterinary Department in Tanganyika. ………… [more - killed 7 lions before breakfast]
