I am so glad to see the interest in Walter. He would have enjoyed it.To have people learning from his books almost 60 years form his passing, woould have made him proud. He was a fine gentleman, brave hunter, and fantastic shot.
His ashes were scattered in the garden at Corriemollie. May he hunt Africa forever in the afterlife. This is the land he really loved.
My book will be out when all the thousands of bits of info I have colleted on him are compiled, and forwarded to the publisher. I think the book is going to be a picturial of Bell, his guns, life, and adventures. I hav read Bell of Africa, and really cannot do better as a biography, other than straighten out some slight errors in his time line, and family relations.
He received 2 MC,s. He fought in East africa under General Smuts. He then went to Solonka, where he preformed well, and was discharged with Nervous asthma. Bell says it was because of the Malaria, and an unnammed malady he aquired while in the service. I have his discharge papers.
