Excellent...I knew you guys would nail it. 93Mouse, thanks for the photo and Kuduae - yes those were the pictures that I was looking for. Old Walter Bell didn't take a half bad photo. To see how young he looked in the military portrait (although he was probably 35?) just brings home that when he was doing all the elephant work before WW1 that we know him for, he was just a young guy...I keep forgetting that he was awarded 2 VC's.

I myself am waiting for a MCA made in 1965, a full stocked carbine in .270

I heard that someone was writing a book about him, I am still waiting for it to come out, would buy a copy, I am a bit of a fan. WDM BEll's story strikes a chord with a lot of people, plus he comes across so well in his books, an engaging man. I put his book Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter up alongside Jim Corbett's Maneaters of Kumaon for my favourite books by classic hunting authors. (Jim Corbett is a fine writer who's writing has not dated at all.)
