Gazette - Voters List 1936 - Hugh Copley, Engineer, Ainsworth Hotel, Nairobi

Allfree in Bluff: Copley was a big, untidy, tall, heavy, slow moving, slow speaking, even-tempered, clean-shaven man. Although he was big, without being fat, he walked like a pigeon. He loved all forms of fish but trout the most. He read copiously and wrote little books on nature, mainly fish. He had one disappointment in life -- he was not a qualified zoologist, so he set about learning everything he could and after many years he was a store of information. He always felt cold. I have never known a man wear so many clothes, particularly cardigans. He and his wife, who accompanied him wherever he went, always travelled with eiderdowns, and even slept under them in the hottest weather at the coast. He did, occasionally, shed a cardigan or two in deference to the tropics at midday, but only at the coast. He was a patient, tenacious, imaginative, ambitious and hard working man, and a good organiser. During the 1914 to 1918 war he had served in the Royal Flying Corps, but not as a pilot. His wife was an expert at growing orchids.
