General Information:

KAD 1922 - Administration Cadet, Mombasa
Curtis - Paddy Schofield - Life in Lamu in the Inter War years - ......... Jack Clive had lost an arm in the War and I remember the fascinating way in which he used the stump to throw the ball up when serving at tennis. I rather think there was tennis every Sunday - on two courts built up behind the old town, and a real social occasion it was. The Goan Government clerks played too, and at least one of the Lamu bands commenced proceedings with God Save the King.

Dominion - District Officer - 1930
Nicholls - Jack Strachey composed this verse about the formidable Jane, J.H. Clive's wife: We're not the sort of slackers who just lie about on sofas, We're out and out attackers and we hate the lazy loafers, We're England's working daughters and we're proud of what we do, We're just about three-quarters of the white man's burden too.
