Hi
I know this is a long shot. I'm doing some research for the brother of Harry Gill b 1928 Castleford, Yorkshire who joined the K.O.L.I. after WW2 and was in Kenya for the Mau Mau uprising/emergency. Apparently he saved the lives of 8 soldiers whilst fighting in the jungle.
The brother knows nothing about this and I'm trying to piece together what I can for a little family history story for his 80th birthday. His brother Harry died in 2003 and he has lost touch with any remaining family. We don't know Army number or Battalion.
I can look up Mau Mau general info on Google so anything else you can add or point me to would be wonderful.
Thank you!
