OP - Issue 84, October 2002 - Obituary - T.W. Jenkins, QPM, CPM - Kenya, Gold Coast, Nigeria
Nicholls - Trevor W. Jenkins, an inspector and therefore only a second-class official, was invited by his squash partner, the private secretary to the Governor, to have an after-game drink in the long bar of the Nairobi Club. The following day he was marched before his superior to receive an official rebuke. Settlers tended to treat such white policemen as at their beck and call, for however trivial a matter.
