He loved adventure travel and nature and promised himself that he would have a jolly time. He left journals sketches and watercolours which are the basis for his story written by John Odling - Smee.

Taken together his writings and paintings provide a fascinating picture of an interesting life in England and Southern Africa in turbulent times.
