The family name seems to be Russell. I am so glad this subject was brought up. I would never ever have thought of putting 'Duke of Bedford + South Africa" into Google if there had not been this correspondence on the List. What treasures I found! Not what our correspondent wanted - well, I gave up after exploring 10 pages! - but there were lots of Boer War references, stacks on zoos and animals, of course, and a lovely Appreciation of Georgette Heyer. Did you know that GH's novel 'The Spanish Bride' was based on the Autobiography of Sir Harry Smith? I didn't, and as I lived for a while in Port Elizabeth I appreciate the book all the more. Now off to amazon.com to see if I can find a copy.... Thank you, and sorry I couldn't help more. Go well! Ivy Trott.
