Kenya Diary - July 1905 - Nandi - Leveson Gower arrived here today with No 7 Company which I used to have at Fort Hall and Nyeri. .......... 31st July - Kibigori - found Maycock and Leveson Gower, both very tired of life and grumbling like bears with sore heads. Neither of them is fit and they both suffer from liver. But what can you expect from the life they lead? They both do themselves too well, retire late to bed and rise late, and never take any exercise. I should soon be ill if I followed their example ..... Apr. 1904 - We have a company at Muhoroni to guard the railway, as the Nandi have been giving trouble lately. It is in the charge of Leveson Gower, who has now been detailed for escort duty to the Anglo-German Boundary Commission

W.A.Kempe diary 13 July 1907 ... the boma Baringo or Mngitan as it is now. Rather a desolate place, very stony, no cultivation except about an acre down by the river artificially irrigated. The A.D.O. in charge – Leveson Gower, a whipper snapper who a few years ago was the subject of a scandal when he was in the guards & ragged by them for which I don’t blame them at all – came in from a month’s safari to Lake Rudolf through the Sub & Turkana country about 12. He put me up, we had a short row about his putting chits into the safe when taking out money for his private use.

Alistair Parker: Leveson-Gower was made Lt in Jan 1905 (Hart's Army List 1908). He resigned from the Guards (London Gazette 3 Aug 1909) and arrived in New York 4 Apr 1912 but died 3 Nov 1912 at The Glockner Sanatorium, the 4th/5th victim of a meal served at the Mary Murphy boarding house St Elmo mining camp Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado; obviously part of the Gold Rush. There is a debate in Hansard (11 Mar 1903 Clmn 501-508) suggesing his commanding officer Colonel Kinloch had ordered him to be flogged for taking leave without consent from the right officer but the fellow officers understandably declined the order.
