Bruce Kinloch

Bruce Kinloch was born in India and educated in England. He joined the Gurkha Rifles after leaving Sandhurst in 1939, fought with them in Burma and on the Northwest Frontier, and won the Military Cross for his part in Battle of Sittang River Bridge in 1942. At the age of twenty-five, he commanded a battalion. In 1947, he joined the Colonial Administrative Service. He was Chief Game Warden in Uganda for ten years; in 1960 he became Chief Game Warden of Tanganyika, a post he held until 1964. Later, he became the Chief Game Warden in Malawi.

Kinloch has written several non fiction books. Among these are "Sauce for the Mongoose" 1965 and "The Shamba Raiders" 1972, which was reprinted in 1988 and again in 2004.

Kinloch also founded the College of African Wildlife Management on the slopes of Kilimanjaro which has trained thousands of game wardens.

Major Kinloch, now 86, lives with his wife Elizabeth at Scotch Firs in Fownhope, Herefordshire.
