Askaris next to the Quad - 1953

Askaris next to the Quad - 1953
(Photo + text supplied by Peter Billowes)

During the Mau Mau time, the entire school compound was fortified and we had dusk to dawn "gate duties" (closing and opening heavy barred wire booms). The armed forces and police patrolled at night.
I recall ground glass was found in our sugar, so someone didn't like us!!
