Died from injuries received when shooting lions on Kapiti Plains.

Nairobi South cemetery - George Grey, buried 4 Feb 1911, Fallodon, Northumberland - Lion wounds Kapiti Plains - Pioneer Rhodesia & Katanga. Gravestone says - As a Pioneer in Rhodesia and Katanga his courage and his judgement were conspicuous in peace and in war. His decision in the land settlement in Swaziland was accepted as just and wise. For his great and rare qualities he was trusted, followed, held in honour & loved by all who worked with him or knew him  

McCutcheon - whilst visiting Lord Delamere had shot a large bull bongo after a few hours in the forest - only 2 white men had done it before.

Daly - of Grey's Scouts fame, of the Matabele Rebellion 1896 .….…

Nicholls - Another lion victim was George Grey, the brother of Edward Grey later British Foreign Secretary. George Grey was well known for raising a corps, Grey's Scouts, in the Matabele Rebellion of 1906. Riding on the Athi Plains with Sir Alfred Pease, a local farmer, he was galloping within 50 yards of a slightly wounded lion when it charged him. Pease pumped several shots into the beast at close range but this only maddened it. It leapt upon Grey and lacerated him so badly that he died. Grey's is still one of the best-preserved tombstones, too many of which bear the legend 'killed by a lion', in the old Nairobi cemetery at the foot of the Hill.
