Pics From James Ryder
James was a young child who lived in Leonora
BG his father was the estate engineer he still remembers Capt Mad Campbell
who took the lads on a trip up the Essequibo around July/ August. James writes
I was one of the boys on the trip There were several on that outing but I
can't remember any names. We went by boat from Leonora where the Fusiliers
were stationed onto the Essequibo, spent the night in a camp we made on the
island pictured, then on to another island where the Dutch fort was,Kike over
Al, I think.My father was manager of Leonora at the time and I remember well
Captain Campbell for his eccentricity. We had some good parties in the Club.
Most of us were back home from school in the UK and our up todate records
were much appreciated by the troopers. I have a few other photos but mostly
scenery, liked the photograph of the Quarters at Leonora on your site. What's
Captain Campbell up to now. Thanks,
The attached is what's left of Leonora Estate now and other photos.
James is now living in Edinburgh.
