General Information:
Red 22 - E.H. Mitchell, Nyeri
Wolseley-Lewis - 1930s Makuyu - Next down the road was Cornforth, for long a bachelor. His friend, Hugh Mitchell did marry a lovely girl called Ibby, but she died tragically, very young. Hugh then married again, Nina. He was an old Marlburian and we were often mistaken for each other, though he was at least ten years older. Nina was a great character and organiser. She was buxom and never carried a handbag, everything was kept in her bra!
