Web - British Perspectives on Aulihan Somali Unrest in the East Africa Protectorate, 1915-18 by George L. Simpson Jr. - Note - letter, Martin Mahony to his father, 1 Feb 1922, Meru, Rhodes House, Oxford, Mss. Afr. S. 487 - The majority of people dislike them [Somali askaris]. Personally, I don't want to serve with any other brand of troops. The Somalis are not natives in any sense of the word. They are endowed with as good a brain as any European. They are inclined to be rather rogues, [and] want watching, but as soldiers they are superior to anything else out here.

Nairobi Forest Road Cemetery - Martin Mahony [sic], British, age 41, died 20/9/36

Nicholls - Martin Mahoney, of the 5th KAR, described assisting a doctor, who had hurt his hand, at an operation on the arm of an African. Mahoney administered the chloroform and removed the bone which was sticking through the skin. 'In the evening he [the patient] came and asked for his bit of bone, but as the dogs had already chewed it up, we could not give it to him.

Joelson - 1928 - In a party in the first car in Tanaland driven to Lamu by T.D. Butler and his wife. At the time Mahoney was DC Bura.

Web - Hyde-Clarke - Alice Hammond - 1936 - I learnt that Mr Mahoney from Kapenguria had been taken very ill and rushed to Nairobi hospital. Mrs Mahoney had gone with him and left her 3 month old baby, Martin, at our house. I was asked to look after him. Anne the little girl stayed with her nanny at the home of other friends. Two days later Mr Mahoney died .….. When Mrs Hyde-Clarke asked me if I would return to England with Mrs Mahoney and continue to care for Martin I agreed.
