• I have also recently found out a lot of information about Jeffrey Soane Cambell’s life in Barotseland.
• His nickname was ‘Makwengula’, and he worked as an agent for the RNWB - his article ‘I knew Lewanika’ can be seen here if you are interested! http://www.nrzam.org.uk/NRJ/V1N1/V1N1.htm.
• There are many other letters that have been documented by Robin Clay about his father (Gervas Clay) and some include letters referring to his friendship with JSC. Unfortunately though, I do not have JSC date or place of birth in England.

J. S. CAMBELL

• With the death of Jeffery Soane Cambell, Northern Rhodesia loses one of her old-timers and a host of friends will deplore
• the passing of "Pop" (or "Pa") and two generations of Malozi mourn their "Makwengula", writes a correspondent.
• An Edwardian at heart, he brought to the present day a flavour of the Naughty Nineties and the Pink 'Un; he combined a robust Bohemianism with an old-fashioned courtliness of manner, a scholarly instinct and a real love and knowledge of nature, above all, of the fauna of Africa.
• While it was difficult to get Cambell to speak of his early life, he delighted in telling of the years since 1908 that he spent in this country, chiefly in Barotseland, and he had a never-failing fund of reminiscences about old times and his fellow-tim¬ers.
