Uganda Journal - Vol 24, p. 217 - Ivory Poaching in the Lado Enclave by R.O. Collins - ……Through the efforts of the Intelligence Department of the Sudan Government the more flagrant poachers were well known to the Sudan authorities. First there was Phillips. He had a reputation for shooting first and asking questions later. Then there was Forbes. An American, who was considered by his fellow poachers as one of the most cunning, he first appeared at Umbarada in German East Africa and slowly made his way northward through the Congo into the Enclave, He shot over 90 elephants. Upon arriving at Butiaba he returned to Umbarada and, accompanied by his wife, retraced his steps to the north with similar success.
