#17. Wally Johnson

adrook - No, #17 is not Wally Johnson.

#6 is Bryan Coleman who now lives close to Houston. I sold his 577 NE double rifle when he retired.
#4 is Robt, Reitnauer who now lives in Ft. Worth and is a big buddy of #6 Coleman.

To heck with the people -- what about those lions and buffalo!

#6 is indeed Bryan Coleman, Harry.


Steady at the Helm, Charles!

The pciture of #13 is driving me mad...

That pic is in 'White Hunters' by Brian Hearne.

Trying Jedi mind trick....

Looks like it could be Harry Selby to me but I'm not sure.

Kayaker - Perhaps if you narrowed down your guess to a single individual(?).

Canuck - I'll send for you at mop-up time.

mrlexma - Where you be?

14. Jimmy Sutherland (on left).

Charles, you ate your Wheaties today!

Nick, you are in Ph.D. territory with these, and Charles, you have just earned the degree!

9. Clifford Hill, Harold Hill (not Prof. Harold Hill from the Music Man), and party.

Excellento! But there may be more in that photo Charles.

#14. Jimmy Sutherland is correct! and his buddy?

BTW - There shall be no degree for Charles, as I have it that he's head librarian at the Smithsonian!

Sir Alfred Pease? Not sure.

No sir, but I have a few small volumes at my disposal...

That's Percival again, on the right, Charles.

Wish I had a few more volumes myself. It's getting harder to find new pics!

Let's give Kayaker his #13 - Allan Black

Nick, I'm stumped on Jimmy's companion. IIRC, they were aboard a ship when that photo was taken.

I'm gonna have to dig up "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter" and check back in with you later!!!

With so many things out of print it can be a challenge. I wish they would reissue African Game Trails with good reproductions of the pictures!

Yes they were, mrlexma. It was 1912 and they were onboard a German vessel bound for Europe.

Charles, you are so right but I suspect they would have done so by now if it were at all possible (?). Surely they could enlarge many of them.

I'm going to take a guess at #5----
A young J. A. Hunter.

Now we're cookin'!

Two to go. #5 and Sutherland's traveling companion.

Just guessing -- 5. Carl Akeley

I've never seen his picture, but given the context of the elephant tusks....

Is #5 W.D.M. Bell, by any chance?

First, with my apologies, it was not "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter," which was penned by F.C. Selous, nor was it, as seemed more likely, "The Adventures of an Elephant Hunter," which Jimmy Sutherland himself wrote.

With my thanks to Tony Sanchez-Arino, author of "Elephants, Ivory & Hunters," Jimmy's companion on board that German vessel, bound for Europe from German East Africa in 1912, was Major Andy Anderson.

Among the interesting information that Sanchez-Arino reports in the above-mentioned book, is the following: Jimmy Sutherland participated on the German side in the 1905 Maji-Maji revolt, during which he was wounded in the chest by a spear thrust, and for which the German Kaiser awarded him the Iron Cross.

During WWI, fighting for the British, of course, he was awarded the French Legion d'Honneur for his efforts as chief of intelligence for the Norforce column.

Not bad . . . not bad at all.

Thanks, Nick, for an evening's re-reading - and researching your blasted question - from the works of some of the greatest elephant hunters who ever lived.

As for No. 5, he looks like a young . . . oh I'm sure I know this . . . but I will regrettably have to leave No. 5 to the night shift.

Actually, "The Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter" was authored by W.D.M Bell.

Yes, of course, as I said, W.D.M. Bell. Not F.C. Selous. Never suggested anything else.

Nick, after just about signing off for the night, I have just spent the better part of the last hour reading your thread "Remember This - Part 5" on the African Hunter Magazine forum. I had no idea it would take that long or be that much fun.

What a trip. I can't post a comment on that thread, but thanks for the time you took to put that amazing bit of nostalgia together.

And this one, too, BTW.

But this is keeping me up all hours and causing me to confuse elephant hunters and ruining my productivity besides.

But thanks, again, anyway.

I'm pretty sure that no.14 is Jimmy Sutherland and Major Andy Anderson ... big pals, pic taken on a steamer in 1912.

mrlexma - Major Andy Anderson is correct and thanks a lot for your comments on the "Remember This 5" thread. I hope to post ALL those old ads at one time, somewhere down the road.

Hi Peter! A bit late but a damn good guess my friend!

Hint - #5 was quite the walker.

A trekker, even.

Word on the street is that he was quite the swashbuckling young lad, with a penchant for impressing young girls (or their families) with epic feats of adventure.





Cheers,
Canuck

So 5 is brother to No. 8? "Cape to Cairo" Ewart Grogan?
