Ian Campbell Clause - My father … ran away from home at 16 as his mother was a tartar. CFCC went to Northern Rhodesia to run a cattle ranch about 30,000 acres close to the Tanganyika border. He signed up at the outbreak of war and had to call himself 'Smith' as he was in a reserved occupation. All the others on the ship to UK were 'Smith' being in the same category. His brother-in-law I think bought him a commission in the North Staffordshire Regiment. …… CFCC then applied for and got the job of Managing Director of Thika Sisal - appointed by the UK board. Went to Kenya in 1920 to find the local board had appointed Leo Lawford as MD (all 4 of the family went to Kenya in 1920). Father then went to Muhoroni and worked for a year in sisal with George Perry's father. Then returned to Thika when Lawford went off and built the hotel in Malindi. The owners of the sisal company called it the Anglo French Sisal Co. having been bought by the French.
